Tony B Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 There is an epsiode of History of the Gun on Youtube that has a Royal Enfeild with a Thompson mounted, that is used in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 This is the British entrant for the dubious award of daft ideas. It's a Norton model 18. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Not that daft, the idea did work, though maybe not practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the Indian Motorcycles left hand twist grip so that a police officer could use his hand gun whilst in hot pursuit.........Have you ever ridden an Indian??

Ron Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Ooooowww you are awful! But I like you!

Tony B Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Or as Kenneth Horne said 'We don't belive there is anything that cannot have a double meaning, if you want it to!':-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Large slap coming fron Mods, anytime soon! :-D Back on topic, I keep trying to find the Youtube clip, unfortunatley keep getting side tracked by other things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Well I've never seen the Enfield clip! Look forward to it. The only one I've seen is the series of pictures that feature the same bloke on the Model 18 with the ugly 'cows udder' silencer.

79x100 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I rather fancy a 1938 Norton twin-port with a 'cows-udder' each side....maybe even to Trials specification with the high level pipes. Four tail pipes....Nice ! It's a puzzle to me where those Model 18s came from and why they had 1938 silencers. There is no record of a military delivery of Model 18s during 1938 and I can't imagine a Guards battalion taking on two year old 'impressed' bikes in late 1940. There is also anecdotal evidence to suggest that Nortons dropped those silencers during 1938 as customers kept asking for the earlier type. I'm not sure where this picture came from but the gun rest looks more like a unit-level modification. It looks to be a Norton (1940 pattern separate Doherty levers and centrally mounted non-illuminated Jaeger speedo). It has the WD spec rubber johnny on the twistgrip so probably a 16H.
