These are really tough old guys - Samantha (no 1 on a 1909 HUmber) set off at 06h00 this morning and arrived at 16h00 - through thunderstorms, trucks, potholes, and all with no rear suspension! Hard-arsed bunch....A pic of the 1909 HUmber is available herE https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/19290/lot/370/ - I was cheering Samantha so hard I didn't photograph her!
Some pics
!926 Triumph - 17 years of development after the Humber, including WW1
Early 30's Royal enfield
First man in. He's about 10 years younger than the bike.
Old twins?
One of the best - look how the technology advanced in 5 years!
That old guy in the first pic - the TT was the GP equivalent of the day, he may have been the Marc Marquez of the time!
This lovely Riley RM was there
and amazingly , this XK150
Shades of glories past
Bikes born in the 30s, riders born in the 50s, comms born in the 90s!
These are really tough old buggers! Just think of what they have been through over the last two days!
