Barnstorm Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hello, My name is Tim O'Connor, I live in Batavia Ohio. I do IT work to make a living but fly, ride motorcycles and do astronomy for fun. I have a keen interest in WWII motorcycles and aircraft especially. I have just purchased what remains of a 194? James ML125 and I hope to restore it with reasonably correct configuration and markings. The Frame Number appears to place it early in production but some of the parts appear to be civilian era. I have lots of photos from my late father that served in WWII he kept his brownie(sp?) camera with him throughout his training and tour. If anyone has a ML125 James and would like to sell it, or parts or Villiers 9D parts PLEASE contact me. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Certainly! This is the beast http://www.oldbike.eu/museum/1940s/bikes-1900s/1943-bsa-mk-v-roadster-irish-army-issue/ Unusally for English bikes it has a coaster brake. It is noted that they were used by US forces. Mine has a 1941 date on the rear luggage carrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
