    My senior moment

    This followed me home the other night. Bit of a change from hauling Adv. bikes on work trips but who can guess make & model? (& yes, it was made by a motorcycle company).
    It's on my 'bucket list' to do the vintage car Irishman Rally, which often includes the Dusty Butt route but in winter. So looking for some aggressive 350 / 400 x 19" adv. bike tyres but with less rounded profile. Any suggestions?

    I'd say it was a BSA. Ralph Watson had one for years, ended up the motor was entirely his own and has rotary valve heads.

    Keep guessing. Note any old farm quad would have more power, better brakes & better suspension than this noddy car.
    What about tyres, Motu?

    The front half looks sort of BMW to me, but the back end is all wrong for what I am thinking of.

    Chocolate fish goes to the man from the 'Naki - 1928 oil dripping Singer Porlock.
    It's not concourse but that's just as well considering where I will be taking it. E.g. in the past the Irishman Rally has included Carricktown Track, Serpentine Loop, Nevis Crossing & Dunstan Trail, all in winter! Hence my question about bike tyres that might fit.

    A mate had a hill climb Singer back in the very early '70's...I remember it being bigger than that. OHC 4 cyl.

    I'd go for Dunlop K70's or Avon SM's. Here is the Avon.
