gritineye Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 No guesses as to the motorcycle under the wing then ? By the look of the front forks it should be a Sunbeam of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79x100 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I don't think that it's 'one of ours' - I came up with my ID based on the peculiar front engine plates and the cut-off drive to the dynamo which would have been there (and it isn't a Velocette !). The crudely applied stars only seem to have been commonly applied by the British and Canadians to captured or requisitioned machines.

79x100 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Indian Powerplus ? The bracket above the front mudguard (fender ?) looks like the leaf-spring mount used by Indian and the chairs are the correct type. Apparently 60% of the motorcycles used by the US in Europe in 1917 - 18 were Indians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
