1950s Motorcycle Tour
« on: November 11, 2018, 11:50:09 PM »
Not Thumper related but this was posted on one of the W650 forums. A group of lads touring Europe on a mix of motorcycles including a Brough in the early 50s.

Some fantastic photos. Thanks. ( Which W650 site was this from? )
Cheers.

Thanks for posting that. How nice to see photos from an era when 'classic' bikes were just bikes.

Now, where's my flannels and sports jacket I feel like a jaunt.

Hi Oz - it was posted on "the lonely ones" W650 Forum - presumably the name relates to the fact that not many bought them compared to the Bonnie!
