1929 Brough Superior
The theme this week is Wayne's Wild and Wonderful World of Wheels. This post, and the entire week for that matter, may have limited appeal.
I wandered over to the new Deeley Motorcylce exhibition on Boundary Road last week. The current exhibit is End of Empire with about 75 bikes from the decades of British dominance in motorcycling. Eventually the British motorcycle industry was all but wiped out by the Japanese motorcycles.
I've owned 4 large displacement British bikes (3 Norton's, 1 BSA) over the years and 3 or 4 Japanese bikes of various sizes.
The Brough Superior, above, is renowned in British motorcycle history. T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia) owned several and met his maker shortly after crashing one.
Fair Warning. Since I always seem to be scrounging for photos lately there are bound to be more motorcycle posts in future.
Triumph, early to mid 60s
My '67 Norton Atlas 750 c.c. (taken almost exactly 40 years ago).
I couldn't take a decent photo back then either.
