Atta Boy Seb - Pints are on me next time I hit the southern hemi

Good to know the missus GrandPappy was into used bikes like the rest of us

 

Yes, I love a bit of history like that - and as my Dad says, I'm one of the last of the great white hunters

You make the trip down Sprock and I'll share the honey mead with you........

Cheers, SB

Hi Rez

What Wiki has to say

Guess now everyone knows what exactly the TT stands for eh !

 

Motosacoche engine of 2.75hp and 344cc
WOW - all that power !!!
Great pic Mark
I played with it a bit to see what everyone else but me seems to know.....
And I still don't have a clue........
But whatever it's top speed was, with that drive ratio it'd get there FAST !

 

Nice little bit of jazzin' up there Pete
Original pic was from an old album taken
with my iphone at the blister in laws in
Sandhills, Surrey in the UK and topping
that off - her more than better half and
meself had just waded through a container
of Makers "46" I had brought him (tip top chap)
so it's a wonder the thing is even focused at all -lol

anyway reckon it might be quick enough
to grab some of Sebs Honey Mead


hmmmm business trip downunder to see me cousins -
and I have bunch of them - like the sound of that too

 

In 1923, Grandpappy's bike was 10 years old. I bet he just putted down the road with a big smile and waved at those well dressed HD fellows on their new twins.

I bet those levers kept him busy, 1-ea. under each grip, 1-left handle bar and 2-right side upper.

 

Well done Pete!

Now for the teaser Sprock..............................



From the left, a Gran Marnier type Mead with a cinnamon base, Chocolatine Port, Buccaneer Rum and Raisin Port, and the chocolate/orange based Honey Mead.

There may be a bit missing from the Chocolatine

And you should see what we picked up last night after work The boot of the car is FULL!!! God I love living in the Barossa Valley

Cheers, SB

 

awe Seb - that's just pure torture !

TBT - 1922/23 we had just finished our own internal civil war - pro treaty v's anti treaty

There was not that much new machinery coming on to the island except for heavy construction
equipment to rebuild the City center.
