MeanieNJ ◊ 2011-09-10 22:51	maybe a Royal Enfield? What country is that soldier from?

The Triumph HW and Matchless G3/L also have ohv engines. The toolbox also does not resemble those of the most common sv bikes: BSA M20 and Norton 16H. A Royal Enfield is the only sv bike with a similar toolbox, so I think it's a Royal Enfield WD/C 350 -- Last edit: 2011-09-13 20:41:18

I was working on a warship at the time and was able to take it ashore in Gibraltar and ride it to Malaga and back. The modern holiday resorts of Fuengirola and Estapona were tiny fishing villages then.
