Seen in scenes set at the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham. The only 1922 bike listed as an exhibit now (25 years later) doesn't look too close to this one... |

It's your turn to hurry up and check the museum and its exhibited vehicles ![]() |

I believe this museum had a major fire a few years ago so many of the machines seen here will perhaps have been destroyed? This one might be a Triumph - maybe a Model H? -- Last edit: 2011-07-13 21:25:00 |

A propos burnt down collections: @walter: don't read that: Link to "www.oldtimer-markt.de" |

Re ingo's link. I don't read German but I did pick up enough from it to understand that it refers to the fire in January of this year which destroyed the von Raffay collection. I read somewhere that the value of the machines lost was estimated at around 20 million euro. I know the collection included many rare and one-of-a-kind cars that are irreplaceable. Some of these had been restored here in NZ. He owned quite a few pre-1905 cars that his family had owned for many years but whether they were lost in the fire I don't know. |
