Re: Name... that... Bike!

It's either a Henderson or an Excelsior, early 1900 vintage. Lets say 15 or 16

Re: Name... that... Bike!

and the winner is..............................

Per chance, did that picture come from Baxters in Marne?

I though it was a trick. Should have known better. Once a limey biker, always a limey biker.

Unlike the one at Barber, this one is for sale.

Prophet....you need to make it a point to go to Baxters summer rally/openhouse in August.

Re: Name... that... Bike!

OK, even though you didn't say the year or model, you win with the Triumph answer (Model H, 1915-24).

Here's the site I gleaned it off of:

Significant Motorcycles in Triumph History

Good site, interesting history content.

Your prize? .......

YOU have to post a Bike for us to guess the make and year!!

or, the 2010 Fiat model of your choice and color! How about a racey little Fiat 500? Rust color (or is that real?). Zero to 60 in a matter of minutes! Rich Corinthian leather! Free tool kit!

Guaranteed 5 miles, or 5 minutes, whichever comes first!

Good Luck,

Bob

Re: Name... that... Bike!

I can do that, and will, but be forewarned, it won't be a Triumph, I'll try to make it a Brit bike like maybe a Rudge, but no guarantees.......

Re: Name... that... Bike!

Time for another episode of:

Name... that... bike !!!

Note that I had to photoshop over the tank decal and the sidecover decals, otherwise oit would be too easy.

Something unique about this one... what is it?
