    Looks more like a whizzer than a motorcycle. What is Aspen. In the US its. Bits of straw. 100 years old. And still thumping. I wonder if the original owner ever wondered. Where will this bike be in a 100 years. We. Know

    England has terrible number plates.
    It's like a metaphor for what's wrong.
    Way too accepting.
    But I'm sure that you'll complain about my comment rather than agree that they need to be much smaller. 😢

      Front number plates are not legally required in the UK. Some owners like to have them fitted.

      Reminds me very much of my 1926 250 Raleigh which I regret selling some years ago. The two machines are exactly the same except for mine had a nickel plated exhaust and cable/drum front brake. It never ran properly with both carb. valves fully open but would do 45mph with a bit of persuasion.
      I "rescued" the bike in 1980 in a dismantled state from a derelict garage, I gathered the bits together with a garden rake! We ground the crankpin, honed the big end and fitted oversize rollers. I fitted a carbide headlight which would have been optional equipment in the 20s. My best memory is our clubs gaslight runs for suitably equipped machines. They were held after dark on country roads with a number of pub stops along the way. I learnt the hard way, never wear a full face helmet when riding with a carbide headlight. Close to the end of the run the flame in the headlight blew out, I decided to keep going as I could just about see by moonlight and as it was raining my matches were wet. My helmet filled with acetylene gas, I passed out and fell over into the ditch. There was no harm done, I didn't feel a thing. It was nothing to do with the amount of refreshment consumed along the way. I swear officer!

      Front number plates used to be compulsory but ceased to be in 1975, being considered dangerous. From 1975 to 2001 they were optional but were banned for new registrations from 2001.
