MY MOTOR CYCLES OVER THE YEARS

 

A 1948 Vellocette 250cc MOV model.

This one was bad to start and full of oil leaks and a rather hard ride, with bad electrics. Still it was my first machine and my pride and joy at the time.

A 1951 Sunbeam S7 500cc.

Shaft drive a good starter no oil leaks. Single seat a very good machine but OH so heavy. Came off this one a few times.

A 1951 Vincent Rapide.

A very fast mean machine. Once again a heavy machine and not easy to ride. I felt this one would have killed me one day so I got rid of it. The only machine that ever really scared me.

A 1955 Vincent Black Prince.

This one I used while my friend was recovering from a car accident. Same problems as the Rapide above, a fast mean machine.

A 1953 Douglas Dragonfly 350cc.

A nice looking machine. Nice to ride with swinging rear suspension. So slow but would run all day. Came off this one first day (careless) Forgot about crash bars on a bend. This was my last machine.
