Hi

I've been away for 2 days and come back to all of these brilliant photos. I'm impressed and it's nice to see new people posting as well. For the bikers I've got a Vincent Black Shadow that I will post soon.

Thanks all

Hi Mike

I don't mind how people interpret the photos. We are here to help, learn and enjoy. I had only cleaned it up for identification by the National Motorcycle Museum and Beaulieu Motor Museum Both were a great help.

The back wheel has a belt drive, that why it looks odd.

Mike - I love the "watercolour" effect! If you or anyone else anyone fancies having a go at another one, this is from 1919... Have fun!
