Actually got it from my Dad. He bought it from the guy who raced it at the 1929 World Cup on the Isle of Man. That year Rudge entered six bikes and they finished 1,2&3 (mine was 6th I've been told). Its a factory racer. Single cylinder 500 cc four valve bronze head. Only wiring is the wire from the magneto to the spark plug. No kick start, bump start with compression release. Straight piped, a real thumper until it get going. Came with a factory guarantee of 100 mph.
