About The Site

This site is something of a playpen for me where I can try things out without worrying about breaking anything important. There is no real significance to the name Dunhackin beyond my penchant for terrible puns and wordplay. It's where I go to relax a bit when the day job's done.

Various things will appear and disappear over time, but the more permanent residents will include things related to my other hobbies. Right now that includes a website that I developed to make my life a bit easier when using the Velocette 350/500cc parts list (aka the Blue Book) - click the 'Blue Book' menu item above, or click this link to open it in a new window.

Recently I've added scanned and OCR'd versions of the various Velocette manuals - see the 'Public Velo Stuff' menu. Since this is full text and diagrams, not just an image scan of the pages, it's searchable.

*Update March 2024* I've been forced to change the templates underlying the site, and as a consequence the menu systems. That means that the navigation is a tad iffy until I get my head around the new systems, apologies if that makes anything awkward. The content's still all there, just a bit untidy in places...
