Morning all.  Does anyone have any additional images of this monster?  In particular, how was the armour stowed when not acting as 'cover from fire'?

All the best.

Adrian, yes, have the series, and someone even made a replica!

It was more like for airfield defense and such, not to cover huge distances. The bike is a Triumph 3 SW. (or 5SW)

Cheers,

Lex

Thanks Lex.  Stunning!  What are we guessing for the all-up weight?  A

The replica armoured 3SW was built by Sean Walsh. He brought it to our Goodwood revival motorcycle field workshop display one year. I literally couldn't lift it off its side stand. But I have got a knackered right elbow. 🥴 

Sean said he did actually ride it once in the quiet road where he lives. Ron

Re: the caption under the first image on the magazine page, here is a Nazi vehicle in the 'Pill-Box' role.  I think they may have given the concept a little more thought...

Morning Ron.  I guess this is the two-wheel version of the Beaverette: a needs must development.  I wonder in what manner the builder of the replica notified his insurer of the modifications?

I don't suppose he bothered? He's not going to ride it and it's too heavy to steal without a Hiab. Ron
