Here is a test for you...can you name these bikes, including their vital statistics? There are clues in the picture of course but here's another one: They are not an 2007 883 HD Sportster and a 2008 HD 1200 Sportster (clearly they are too big)!  [image]  [/image]

The one in the rear is a Rust Bucket. 0 displacement, 0 HP, 0 T, 0 value!  The one in the foreground, I'm not sure of.  Half of the puzzle solved. 
And you may see me tonight

Ok, think there both Peugeot's.
The front one possibly 1950 56TL4 125 cc, or 176 TL4 175cc,
the one at the back 1934? P55 125cc

Note inverted forks on the one in the foreground like Jawa used to use.

The blue and white looks like a Peugeot 125 or 175 made around 1950. The rust and rust one is a little older (not sure when they switched from the springer frontend) but not a lot older 'cause the front fender is different through '45 or so. Can't see enough of the engine to tell for sure, but it looks like it might be tilted forward. If it is, it could be an older Pusch.

I did , but as usual I was late to the party.

That's the one Ray but the paintwork is a little better on your example.
Great little bar that btw...must go back sometime soon.

Might be the Triumph FLTBFDBVD, I hear the cruiser version is for sale on Ebay.
