More
from the SCBS 2019
Back
at the Museum on the Monday after the Bike Show and time to reflect
on the bikes at the show. As always there were some choice pieces of
kit and below are a few of the bikes I thought were particularly
good.
The
Ariel 4 valver. Very rare.
Matchless
G2, I had one of these. I liked it.
Douglas,
1914 with gearbox below the rear cylinder.
BSA
C12.
BSA
round tanker 1926
This
Monday was an international affair with visitors from New Zealand,
South Africa, America, Canada, Japan and this nice young lady from
Latvia who wanted a picture of her sitting on my LE.
The
bike is no prize winner as it does get used. I rode it to the show on
Saturday and again to the Museum. After the picture shoot I fired up
the LE and gave her a ride around the car park. She loves bikes and
really enjoyed the experience. She said it was a very light and easy
to handle machine. My surprise was that I managed the rise and fall
of the slope two up and didn’t fall off on the uphill slope turn at
the top of the car park and the engine pulled very well, even cold.
Not bad from a 192cc engine that is 56 years old. Here are some pics
taken by our regular visitor Martin.
