welcome mark to the forum from farsley

sold my 1920 770cc B,S,A V twin to get marrid

I think it is a triumph model H, very nice photo thank you.

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 transported one of the 1st conquerors to come into germany beween 1953-55 with a antar. you can see them on my photos that andy fowler put on for me.

I have been a few times to Skipton castle it is well preserved a very good day out, I live at Farsley ,NR Leeds no to far away
