This is my father on the new 1951 GF he bought from Jack Johnston Motorcycles, in Kalgoorlie.
He wanted a new Triumph, but the dealer (Ken Marshall) drove a hard bargain, so he walked across Hannan Street to the BSA dealer!
Picture is taken at Ora Banda, at the front of the homestead. "K 363" (Kalgoorlie registration).

Another pic at the woodcutters camp near Johnston's dam. Dad's brother Shaun is on the B31.

Dad always wanted a sidecar!
Moments after this pic was taken, my brother & I climbed aboard, and we charged up the Siberia (gravel) road.

I am wearing the blue shirt with red collar.

Five minutes later, we parted company! The sidecar shot off the road through the saltbush & salmon gums, and we had the ride of our lives!
Dad never got around to bolting it back on!
Here is the bike now.
