Lovely, what's it like to ride?
Are they carbide lamps?
How big is the engine?

 

[ontheroadagain]

To be honest I haven’t ridden it since I was about 14! (Over 40 years ago) my late father was given the Douglas c1975. He got it running and we had a bit of fun with it for a few years. My father had other projects so it was left in the corner of the garage and forgotten about for another 30 years. In 2010 my father decided to restore it. Unfortunately he passed away in 2012 with the bike being approx 75% complete. I have completed some work but it is not yet running.
Yes - carbide lamps.
Engine is 2 3/4 HP. 350cc. 2 speed gearbox.
Manual oil pump.
Regards
Ian.

It's amazing, just 100 years ago we rode such things. Wonder what we'll be riding in 2120 ?

It promised so much.

I did test drive an NSU ( was it the R80 ? ) which was OK but not much difference from the driver's seat.

Whatever it’ll be, it probably wont run on wheels.

An Ro80, I believe. My grand uncle used to have one.

A world where an engine that runs by burning liquid will seem as ancient as carbide lamps today. A bike of 2020 vintage will look so odd, a crowd may gather round it.

I can imagine a petrol engine bike in a motorcycle museum with a sign on it saying this 2020 Honda Fire blade is in full running order and will be demonstrated running every hour, last engine start will be 4pm. Imagine the gasps as it fires noisily and smokely into life ? in fact they already seem a bit old hat..
Right, that's enough thinking for today ?

 

[Mikey RV]

Not mine but if I had a bike, just love it.

1st picture of my Grandson on my old 1954 Sunbeam S7 which I sold in 2004.

this is picture of my old 1996 Kawasaki VN1500 Classic I-part exchanged in 2000.

this one of my 2000 Harley Davidson 1450 Road King Classic which I owned for nearly 11 years.

This picture of our Harley in Germany 2010, and because of my wife’s disability I had the Harley triked in 2007 at great expense.

The size of that thing, it must have compressed the Alp by six inches.

 

[Neckender]

I bought this Rocket111 tourer in 2010 rode it until run in then had it triked and it was not the same again so I sold it a year later.

Now that’s an Alp compressor if I ever saw one!

 

[Neckender]

This was my Rocket 111 Trike but I wasn’t at all happy with it as it ruined a great bike.
