  • Don reviews and rides one of the world's most famous motorcycles from the 1920's, the Brough Superior. George Brough produced these machines from 1919 to 1940 and assembled them from the finest components to a very high standard, they were perceived as the Rolls Royce of motorcycles. One famous owner of a Brough was Laurence of Arabia, he was known to go off for days and clock up miles and miles enjoying this majestic machine. In recent auctions they have become incredibly desirable reaching a value well in excess of £100,000K

    This is just the kind of narration we want on a Brough Superior. TE. Lawrence could not have done it better. Nice work Don.

    On 13 May 1935, Lawrence was fatally injured in an accident on his Brough Superior SS100 motorcycle in Dorset close to his cottage Clouds Hill, near Wareham. A dip in the road obstructed his view of two boys on their bicycles; he swerved to avoid them, lost control, and was thrown over the handlebars.[170] He died six days later on 19 May 1935, aged 46.

    I had no idea the Brough Superior had a Matchless engine & a Norton transmission. This is the equivalent of what Crocker did in the USA. He took the best motorcycle parts available from Indian, Harley & other makes to make a better performing and generally more appealing stock motorcycle. Unfortunately, these motorcycles were practically custom made and of limited quantities so of course with high quality & a small population comes a high price tag. They were expensive then and are even more expensive now.

      Warm beer? I have heard that uttered with incredulity by so many Americans. The beer is not warm. The beer is normally stored in a cellar beneath the bar and is always cool. Never warm. Not as cold as draft Budweiser. I guess you already know this.

    One sold at auction for £268,000.
    Mark Upham, an English guy bought all the rights to Brough and the J.A.P. motor. He makes "new" Brough Superiors in Switzerland. They are hand made and will cost $250,000. They are better made as material and plating is far superior to the 1920/30s. One reached nearly 125mph on Bonneville flats.

    In 1980 a friend of mine who I worked with (Richard Brandon Nr Royston uk) had a garage (approx 10 per more) of old unrestored bikes. I was 19 at the time and we rode his Brought Superior up the road and back. Anyone know of Richards whereabouts? They were a maverick family but hugely interesting. Richard and I worked in Baldock as technical illustrators.

    A friend of mine had one with a an original side car , The tubing connecting the side car to the bike acted as additional fuel tank . I don't know whether this was a standard fitting supplied by the manufacturer or had been added as an extra.

    • @jemlees2225
      @jemlees2225 3 роки тому

      The main frame of the sidecar was a continuous 2" diameter tube which had a filling point at the top and a tap low down at the rear. Attach a tube to the tap, feed this to the tank and pressurise the system via a schraeder valve at the filler to force the fuel into the tank. A Brough innovation.

      Buck Wheat Buck, As an owner of a Brough Superior take my word for it that the tank is chrome not stainless steel. It was possible to spec. a stainless steel tank as all Broughs were hand made to the buyers spec. but very few were stainless steel, generally they were chrome and underneath they are steel. This tank in the video is chrome.
