    Which bike brand is this?

    Brand logo/emblem is a capital M with a wing on either side?

    Bike looked to be a custom, very cool bobber.

    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 old man had three of em in the garage as i was growing up ! Sold them well b4 i was old enough to know

    how to knock him off and change his will to leave any motorcycles to me !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    First bike I had that was even slightly road legal was a 1953 or 4 Matchless G9 - 500 twin. Notable for the "Matchy Megas" mufflers, jampot rear suspension and the quaint nickname of "break-a-crank-a-day". The centre main bearing was not the best idea ever.
    There was a race version, the G45. Equally hopeless.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    The G9 was the worst bike I have ever owned.The 650 was more renowned for breaking cranks - like Norton the AMC twins were bored to 600,then stroked to 650....the 650 had crankshaft problems until they made the nitride crank.Apparently bearing wear would make the crank whip....ok on ball bearings,the the plain centre bearing would make the crank break.
