Banbury Run
« on: June 21, 2023, 01:13:25 PM »
I didn't take many photos of the day last Sunday but this little beauty was one of my favourites. Sounded like a small car! About as rare as they come.....
(It is in Sammy Millers museum, BTW and was being ridden by Sammy himself)

It was a fabulous sounding engine - If I had the skill, I'd build an engine like that..... :o

Possibly..... but more likely to be the clips to hold the rear wheel stand when the bike is moving.
