I give you Mr Keeith Manning

[Busamav]

Every year I take my babe along for a MOT at Keith Manning motorcycles ,

Keith is always there and is an incredibly polite guy and a true gentleman.


He has in his day raced at the island , a true road racer , and makes light of his race days .


Since the fire at the National motorcycle museum , he has been tasked with rebuilding from sfa the most cherished and important treasures that were lost , he has completed 14 to date i believe .

I saw some pics today of a recent AJS , there was a frame and a flywheel left from the fire , from pics and from his knowledge , he gets on with remaking the bike .

I said to him today that they were probably better than the day they were built , he coyly admitted that I was probably right .

His next task is a Rob North Triumph Trident that was " destroyed ".

I ask how manages to get through his work , oh thats easy , i work to 8 pm every day of the week .

Some of you may think you do similar hours .............BUT..... hear this


Keith Manning will be 80 years old next birthday


what a guy
