Last V twin before we move on to Birmingham's finest.

One of the curators came and chatted with me for a bit about this Brough Superior, and he said the guy who owned T.E Lawrence's Last Brough reckoned
it would fetch ?2 million  *eek*

it is a superb museum and just about every bike is still run and ridden as frequently as possible.  You can tell by all the drip trays.  *lol*

I guess most of you know the insides pretty well, so no surprises on whats in there.

but it would make a nice coffee table piece.

And to finish a very special BSA.  I guess if it was Italian it would be a Superleggera

 Last pic is interestingly tagged as '1951' with Swing arm and no bolt-on G-box *conf2*. Rear hub looks like not a crinkle/QD but some kind of conical setup-  *????* *dunno*
Started building in about 1977/8 a on average '52 A10 -built from bits 'n pieces never resto intended -maybe 'personalised'
Have a '74 850T Moto Guzzi since '92-best thing I ever bought doesn't need a kickstart 'cos it bump starts sooooooooo(mostly) easy

I don't see a pivot point at the trailing edge of the fork assembly that allows the shock absorber to do something.

To mark,

Are you aware that you can attach up to six 1.5MB photos in each post?

Hmm I did try but it kept say the file was too large?
