almost looks like the 44 one doesn't it?
where do you find these wonderful classic pictures. My Dad loved motorcycles and had a couple of his own. If you Click Here you can see a picture of my Dad and a bicycle he had with a gasoline motor attached. I remember he telling me how if he just wanted to peddle his bicycle he'd turn off the motor. Dad said he only used the motor to get uphill.
Not too keen on that one Baron. Much prefer old fart's Dad's one - now that's my style.
