The belts on the Triumph forks was supposed to stop the forks going forward if the spring broke but it did not work. The bike with zu on the tank looks very much like a Triumph, Possibly he put a name on the bike himself like they did with tanks and wagons. Very good unusual photos thank you.

I liked you photos of you renovation. the inside of the cab brought back memories I was recovery mechanic in 1953-55. By the way I was second driver on 06-BD-41, until I got my scammell 06-BD36. you can see 06-BD41 on my photos. keep up the good work.
