meatloaf Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Just returned from Birmingham, my daughter enticed me to visit her to help with some DIY with the promise to take me to the National Motorcycle Mueseum. Wow what a collection of British bikes, I didn't realise that back in the early 1900's that there were so many British bike manufactures many of whom I had never heard of. I even saw an example of a BSA Golden Flash which I haven't seen since I sold mine 1950 model back in 1969, I thought these could come in handy to sort out some of the nutters on the road today. Didn't know Wilkinson sword made bikes Not seen a Norton like this on the road Kinda liked this folding bike from the early 50's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
up.yours Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 was that a fold away or a throw away that the army used to parachute down with, to get them to there destination quickly .I thought I saw something like that on a documentary, they were mass produced as disposable bikes.
