subrosa said...: Ah Baron, 1946 was a good year, a very good vintage indeed.

I have people who stay with me some years and are part of the Scottish vintage motor cycle association and they had a Sunbeam 1929 Model 5 with them. Wonder what they'll bring this year.; April 9, 2009 at 9:46 AM

I like this bike We had one similar except of course a modern version with a double back seat and all.
I like it particularly when It has a lot of chrome.
Thanks :); April 9, 2009 at 10:57 AM

Canajun said...: Love those big old singles. They had a sound like nothing on the road since. That's if you could hear them over the shrieking of the owner who just drove his knee into his chin when the thing kicked back when he was trying to kickstart it.

Keep 'em coming.; April 9, 2009 at 6:00 PM

Baron's Life said...: Subrosa, The sunbeam 1929 model 5 is got to be a classic of all times. Thanks for mentioning it. Absolute delight
Thank you Lady's life...you're a darling
John, it is always a pleasure to have you visit. Thanks
Canajun, Yeah these dynamo type of kick starts are difficult to master..but once you dfo they're a piece of cake to start..you need to bring the kick start down to the point where it stops and then kick...
Nikos..hardly enough...I like to collect them, but them and resell them..Have been doing these since my Student days in Engineering...was a way to pay for college and the habit stayed with me...as they say old habits die hard; April 11, 2009 at 9:15 AM
