NickAbbott Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Can anyone tell me anything about the bike in these three pictures ? I believe it's the same bike in all three pictures, and the rider is my wifes grandfather, and I've been told that the pictures were taken in Palestine, but that's pretty much all we know, other than that he was supposedly a dispatch rider, but we have no more details on his military service. Any information will be greatly received, or pointers as to where we might find more info. Thanks Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79x100 Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 It's a BSA WM20 from contract C12424 which was delivered from mid-1942 onwards. The lack of headlamp masking suggests post-war but it still has the wartime serial number so probably earlier than 1948. I calculate the frame number should have been WM20 64556 which isn't on the WD Motorcycle website list of M20 survivors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 It looks like it's fitted with an earlier 8" headlamp? Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
