Lovely bike, very original. We don't often see Viscounts this clean and original on this side of the pond. I blame the damp climate. Ohio must be very conducive to Viscount survival. Interesting colour: is it red or is that a fault in the colour (color) rendering? Perhaps the general redness (tyres, toe strap) is meant to reflect the bloody history of the Banks of the O-hi-o? (not originally written by Joan Baez though - see Wikipedia.) |

Nice music trivia  I think that many of these bikes were hardly ridden and just put away so they come up very clean and original.You could get your GP in blue/white (like my Mojave) or red/white. I remember them both being equipped the same and the GP model being the biggest seller up in school. I know one of my classmates still has his original GP. His Pro was such a hot bike at the time that it was stolen  |

I have a late fillet brazed Lambert (looks just like a Viscount except for the bars and the 'L's) which has the same pattern but in orange where the GP is red.

I hope you're happy,cos I've just spent far to many hours starting from your Neil Young link and,
unfortunately,there's always more links that need to be followed.
If there is a heaven,which I somehow doubt,can the omnipotent one just arrange for us all to
follow these links for eternity,please!!!!!
Cheers Jem,Not a wasted Saturday night for me.
Pete.

The bike went for $175 on e-bay today so there are devotees out in Ohio!
