My 1963 Velocette 500 Scrambler

This is a 500 cc model. I got in Sept 2006 and it hadn't run since 1985. I decided to clean it up, get it running and and see how I liked it. I got it running for the first time on 12 Jan 2007 and eventually took it around the block the first time on 7 Jul 2007 (07.07.07).

Great set of photos! I have a Velo scrambler myself currently in the early stages of rebuild, info from your photos will be a valuable assistance to me.
Thanks and regards
