Nice find, looks to be in reasonably good shape. I picked up 2 KG many years ago for next to nothing. The intent was to use the best of both to make one running car, but that project never got any traction.

Eric,
Thanks for the flashback! My first VW was a 61 just like that one. Loved that roof. I recall one time I hit a puddle and the water went over the roof without getting a drop in the car.

Cliff, first time I’ve seen a Velocet, at least what I can read. Pretty darn cool!
Are the rear shocks adjustable by sliding fore and aft within that slot? I also noticed that the oil tank looks very similar to a Sportster oil tank, maybe just a bit smaller perhaps. Very nice, I like it!

Robert, it is a 1962 Velocette Venom 500 single. They went out of business in 1970. They were a little like Morgan in that they did not advance much after WW2. The shocks do slide to change the effective spring and damper rates without changing ride height. Forward = soft, rearward - stiff.

Cliff, I guess that I’m just a sucker for classic bikes. That one is just up my alley. I haven’t owned an old scooter in many many years, but still love them. I recently saw a Janus at Harbor Freight that caught my attention. It’s a bike built in Indiana (I think) and had to take a picture. I didn’t know anything about them but had to look it up.
