those first three look dodgey at best! But so pretty and shiney! Makes you wanna ride them anyway.

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

The first two bikes are board racers ..... 1915 ish 130 mph... no brakes on a plank wooden track ... and a leather helmet go figure *LOL*
the third one is 1890's .....top notch craftsmanship check out the wooden rims and fender (mud guard)...... amazing the rimis are one piece of wood

It's a wonder they weren't stolen in Good 'ol Boy country.I worked in Memphis at our head office for a while in 1996. Immense hospitality, but a bit racist and still fighting the Civil War! BTW, I owned a midnight blue GB from new in 1987 and added a full fairing - great machine!

The Norton is the pick of the litter for me, i have a nmate that lives an hour north of here, he has just picked up a comando, he's into the 'classic' racing. The others are all wonderful examples of an era long ago. Theres and older couple here that own several AJS motorbikes and they are still out there doing it........... good to see, thanks GB
