As Brough Superiors go I've taken a sort of opposite route to you, I purchased a far from original 1933 11-50 in 2004 and decided as nothing matched it's build sheet I just made it how I liked, so it has Castles and a 1935 style engine and tanks from a 1938 SS80,. Then within a year I had started construction of a replica 1927 SS100 which I finished in 2015, this is almost perfect visually but is 1150cc with a 4 speed Sturmey Archer gearbox fitted with an almost concealed foot change mechanism and a modernish carburettor disguised with twin floats and the front brake is wider and fitted with an internal twin leading shoe mechanism. So it is quite powerful and fast but will also stop !!
“If you can’t lean the bike against a tree, you shouldn’t use it”. What good sense! Big collections where the owner doesn’t ride the machines are a cynical affectation. “Built to be ridden” yes indeed! A great video of a sensible man. Thank you. Les in UK
Thank you for good comment @leslieaustin151 I acknowledge collections or museums who keeps vehicles in running order instead unreachable static pieces...as one of the best museums @wheelsthroughtime
@jeffreyrobbins688 Thank you Jeff for good word! I try my best and I promise...will be coming more stories about cool and true people and amazing stuff they make.
My opinion is, that nothing is stupid if a rare bike is handled by best hands in running conditition. Mercy for this beautifull pictures and your story! What I love most is the difference between „I am the owner of a nancient bike!“ and „ I am driving such a bike“. What do you think about that? Is the the number of sampled bikes counting? Or is it better to have only some but in best technical driving contition? I am prefering the last choice. Bought and stored hard to exept for me.
Such a nice gentleman---I'd like to see his other 49ish bikes and hear his stories.
It will come...in the future! :-)
One of the nicest, best films I've seen recently.
Thank you @RobinBassett for the nice words!
A very nice man. He should be the owner.❤
Many thanks for that! 🤗 🏁 🇬🇧

Many tanks Les! The quote is actually from the ex owner, but apparently I am continuing the tradition! 🙂
Outstanding film, please keep them coming.
