Saw an episode of Junk and Disorderly earlier and one bloke spotted a Scott bike, made in Yorkshire apparently and he claimed it was the first ever liquid cooled 2 stroke. Is this true? And are there any pics? Can't find sod all lol.

Until recently I had a 1932 3 speed Scott (Left hand in pic)and a 1961 Birmingham Scott. Really nice to ride and smooth. In the strength of them I bought a Silk which I did not get on with at all! They all sounded(and smelled) lovely though 😁   |

Very cool. Tiny front brake!

Doesn't work at all. If it did, it would bend the forks. Possibly useful for a hill start, as it has a foot clutch, so I can't use the back brake and set off. Remember, back then many roads were unmade or gravel. You wouldn't want a front brake that worked too well, or you would be on your ear. Back one surprisingly effective, given the shoes are only about 3/8" wide, but it is quite light (at least before I get on it). |

There is a good clip on youtube of Jay Leno with his Scott Flying Squirrel. It is worth a watch 👍
