Other Bike Photo Gallery

This is a better picture of the bike, with both my grandparents. It was common place to ride side-saddle in the 30's for the ladies, though probably quite precarious! Pretty sure this is an AJS350. Might explain why I love motorcycles so much.....it's in the blood.

 

Mrs Visors great granddad who was a test rider for AJS.

 

Beautiful afternoon for a ride around Rutland on my other italian...

 

Visited Andover Norton today:

 

Harley Davidson XR 750 racing bike. In 1972 it was competitive in the hands of Cal Rayborn and Renzo Pasolini

 

Some Triumphs at Baron's (Dick Smith), Hooe near Battle, Sussex

 

If we're taking a vote, mine is for the Black one.

 

The grey T100 pre-unit has a sprung hub rear wheel.

If you don't know what that means, look it up

 

Spotted outside my local CMC, first one I've seen in the flesh.

 

I think they're fabulous and it'd be (one of) my, if I won the lottery bike. I'd have the girder forked version mind.

I believe the frame is machined from half a dozen billets & welded up.

 

Not for me TBH, maybe with a V2 engine maybe the KTM 1390.

 

A nice pair

 

Since the Bimota and Kawasaki marriage in the WSBK (and BSB), there seems to have been a lot more Bimotas that have come out to play. Andy

 

Love that Guzzi.

 

Today’s IOM

 

My dad on his 1934 Norton Model 20 (I think)



And one of his brothers on his 1924 Norton Model 20



Another of his brothers on a 3½ hp Sunbeam.



And myself trying toot the bulb horn of the maternal grandad's Sunbeam aged about 18 months.



I guess I got from both sides of the family.

 

Nice bit of lineage
