AJS & Matchless Owners Club

Hi folks,
At the age of 19 I had a Matchless G80 and now at the age of 62 I have just purchased a Matchless G80 Typhoon

I live in the UK Midlands not far from the Birmingham Motorcycle Museum and just wondered if there are any Typhoon owners not too far away that I can link up with to share info etc in any manner. Phone, email.. Happy to use this forum as well

As I don't know any motorcycle clubs in this area, so I am also looking as well re doing runs etc

any contact welcome cheers Simon

A lovely bike and pretty rare. There weren't many Typhoons made and you have been lucky to find one. They are similar to the 500cc scrambler which are more plentiful, still not common but much more so than a Typhoon.
Best of luck.

Simon , good to talk to you today on the membership phone
Im pretty sure that i can find a G80CS inlet air filter assembly as we discussed, my mate is having a look to see if he can find it
Ill let you know if we find it

Peter

Thanks John and yes was good to talk today Peter appreciate you looking and the advice.
I found one on the US spares list but not contacted the spares guy yet, it looked quite pricey particularly if you add import duty.
If you find one even better so will hang on .
I am not getting notifications so happy if you email me, my address is spadillon@live.co.uk
