jrt Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 OK, this one shouldn't be all that hard. I bet it's over before the day is out. I need the manufacturer, the model name, year and displacement. Difficulty- this one is a prototype. I just love the style of this bike- low and thick, I guess. The shaft drive is cool also. Too bad it never made it to market. Link to comment
big J Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I dunno what it is,looks vaguely Sunbeamy. But int that a great looking engine. Link to comment
jrt Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 no no no.... note the napkins to catch the oil leaks underneath. But I agree- I love the looks of this bike. Link to comment
jrt Posted September 16, 2006 Author Share Posted September 16, 2006 No, but an FN was sitting next to it. Beautiful old bike...but this ain't horseshoes (an expression that means close doesn't count) edit: by "close", I meant the two bikes were close in proximity. Sorry- that didn't come out right.

macguzzi Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Stab in the dark a Brough Superior could it be a car engine Link to comment
jrt Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Definitely not a Brough, although it was close to one (like that helps). Gratuitious Brough picture follows. It's not a car engine. Link to comment
