Vintage British Motorcycles

I took a run up to Carlisle, Cumbria UK, to view a private collection of mainly British Vintage Motorcycles in MId-October.

I felt privileged to be shown around by a very unassuming and humble blacksmith who has restored this collection over many years.

He still faces at the Isle of Man TT on his side car outfit, and had some great old MV Augusta and Ducati machines.

The star, for my, was the BSA and as yet unrestored Douglas, if you are ever thinking of heading that way PM me, I'll forward his details;

Thanks for sharing!

Love the old scoots, especially British! thanks for taking the time to share.

Dittos on the sharing. I love the antiques (any antiques).

The Lone Star motorcycle museum at 36517 Hwy 187 North, Vanderpool, Texas (on the Three Twisted Sisters) is owned by a young fellow who has rebuilt all the vintage British motorcycles himself, as he is a retired British machinist from Texas City, Texas.

He is open in most of the summer months, as the rest of the time Alex is racing or watching those vintage British motorcycles race.
