Bateman's Velocette

The bikes in the ad were among the last of the production at Velocette. The very last Thruxton made, bought at Batemans, is still in Ontario.

      Sigh.... Everyone knows the Batcycle was a Yamaha.

      Ha Ha! Getting sidetracked by a sidecar though, here is a link to the history of that customized '66 Yamaha Catalina 250 Batcycle.

      Thanks for the link. Of course SOMEONE knows everything there is to know about minute details of a 50 year old TV show and has put it online. Now did he use 1/4-20 bolts or 5/16? :-)
