Sadly as much as I love war history the only thing I know about TE Lawrence is from the armored train mission from battlefield 1 and you never get any info about him really you only see him in cutscene and not much is told about him
@@Wa3ypx Yeah he was so gay he practically sneezed glitter....The fact you didnt know this leads me to believe your "little known fact" is actually just bullshit..
From Wikipedia: "The first engine (from 1924 to 1936) was the twin-cam KTOR JAP (made by J. A. Prestwich) V twin (upgraded to a Matchless engine from 1936)"
@@robertohoraciovines5416 "To S.A." may be the best poetic expression of love and loss ever penned.

Amazing.
The best looking Brough Superior I've ever seen!
Nice to see those early model Broughs in action, an interesting history lesson re T E Lawrence/Shaw and his involvement with the marque also.
I'm not sure who has the funner ride.
I want both!
a lovely video.
First rule of sailing:-? nothing ever goes to plan.

You gotta watch that movie about him.....its definitely worth it...
Little known fact of Lawrence, his nick name was "The Cruiser", because he liked fast cars and fast women.
He was gay
@@davidcollings4750 Was he?? For real?

QUESTION What does the JAP mean on the Brough engines?
From Wikipedia: "The first engine (from 1924 to 1936) was the twin-cam KTOR JAP (made by J. A. Prestwich) V twin (upgraded to a Matchless engine from 1936)"

Brough Motorcycle has how many cc engine? thx
They vary but the 1932 Brough Superior Lawrence was riding when he crashed and later died, was/is 980 cc.
Very nice, thanks, though I cringe seeing that motorcycle ridden without a helmet...
Should have put Bruce Anstey on the Brough he’d have beaten the aeroplane
It’s a shame they are made in France now.
Looks like an Old Harley Ironhead...yah???
Get Levin off your ads!
Jim, sorry we have no control over that -- I wish we did :-(
Changed his name you mean for double crossing his Arab friends
Good to know he died in pain !!!
Sorry to disappoint you. He was in a coma for 10 days. No pain.
