Definitely Palin's / Honda. Spent too much time and money there in the 70's and 80's.
Minions were Suzuki for sure in the main. Probably some Yams and Kwaks too?
Always thought of Samways as bicycles / small mopeds etc? Probably wrong... Their slogan was "Samways for the Highways". Isn't the mind a wonder (even in the degenerated state mine is in)
Laverdaroo:
You're only as old as who you feel Tim ;)

I believe like car dealers most motor cycle dealerships in the 1960s were multi-franchise until later decades. I went to Samways for Triumph spares & Mackton Motors for Aerial when they were on Osmason Ted.
Google still shows Minions as Honda.

Yes Ken Palin's was on Osmason Road just above The Spot after they closed down it was a Thai Restaurant for many years.

In the end i had a mate put a bead of weld around it and it just fell out. Same problem now with Lazarus.

I removed the top bearing race at the bottom of the column today. I was very lucky with there being a small gap between the shoulder of the inside of the frame and the bearing. I found a bit of metal ( steel part of magnetic kitchen door catch) I was able to insert the metal plate into the column so it was jamed on both sides in the gap. With a long drift I gave the plate a whack close to the edge. Two taps on opposite corners it came out undamaged. An NTN 30x50x14 taper bearing race.
