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.

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.
