And then I will inherit...a 3HW (WWII Dispatch Riders bike). One day - hopefully soon - my dad will have it running and then I'll post a pic of it...



That's cool Gina. Is your father old enough to have ridden it during that war, or did he pick it up later in life?

There's a guy I run into every once in a while here in SoCal who's absolutely nuts for old military issue machines. He presently owns a Harley 45, a BSA B10, and a BMW rig WITH the machine gun attached(it's non-operational of course...but considering the traffic in L.A. today........)

Cheers,
Dwight
(if your father WAS old enough to have used that bike back then, he probably heard the funny old lament about all those American G.I.s being stationed in Ol'Blighty during the war which was uttered by some the locals back then.....

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
