Default 1942 WLA
Hi Folks,

Just to say hi all the way from India. Have just acquired a 1942 WLA 750 cc, part of the wwII surplus that was tucked away in a remote part of New Delhi. Its almost in Mint condition and will be on the road in a few days. Hope to post some pics soon.

Feel privileged to be a part of the forum

Cheers

Serendeep
