That must have been one helluva block to hang~out at.

It sure was. Even got to see the Denco triple triple just after it arrived in Oz, around the early '80's if I remember correctly. It was in one of the Indie shops just off Elizabeth Street getting the once over. Sounded fantastic. Don't recall if it ever ran here or not though. Apparently it's still in Melbourne somewhere collecting dust in someone's shed.

Cottman & Co was in Elizabeth Street, Melbourne, Australia in the 40's. Elizabeth St was Melbourne's epicenter for motorbike shops right up until about 10 to 15 years ago. Now it's full of businesses selling coffee to each other...

Great pictures, JoJo. I wonder how many of those Knucks, and Pans have been 'born again'.

Steve,

I never saw the bike, he sold it in the late 1960’s (I was a child back then). Jules told a few stories about it and had these few photos.

[Steve Slocombe]

Thanks for the pictures and the bike must be a KRTT with those brakes. Does the TT appear in the engine number?

[FLFD7]

The last pictures I have of Jules’ KR from 1967, this time sporting a fairing.

I believe he sold this bike to some guys from South Jersey, I can’t remember their names.
