Trying to track down a Dorsett Diesel

Post by Jdog82 »

Good afternoon all.

I’m looking to track down one of Ernie Dorsett’s diesel bikes. Ernie was my grandfather and I remember growing up around many a diesel bike. I’m looking to purchase one of my grandads bike to have one back in the family. I’m a biker myself so it wouldn’t lie in the shed with a sheet over it.

Any information would be fantastic.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Paul, I have one of your grandfather's diesel Matchless motorbikes. My father bought it from him and it was the bike that Ernie was using at the time. I have the documents that name him as a former owner.

I live in Fife and I am planning on selling the bike. Would you be interested?
I would love it to go to a good home, my father passed away last year and he loved this bike.

Do let us know if you are successful! The rally is coming along very soon and it would always be nice to see these bikes once in a while :D
