This 1930 side valve sloper, which in some ways reflects the end of an era as over head valve (ohv) technology started to become common place for the private rider. with this, the best of side valve (sv) designs faded out of favor. fitted with 'colonial' guards which were designed to address our rough and muddy roads, this example is sure to have seen some of the toughest miles in new zealand which is a testament to it rugged reputation as a no nonsense hard working machine. well known for their indestructible gear box and extremely reliable single cylinder motor the sloper was not only relied upon but also well liked for its rakish good looks.
