revdocdrew...1954 vintage 32cc 2stroke"Cyclemaster" Had to Peddle like "The Clappers" to get the thing rolling, you could make 25mph on the flat. But when I was loaded down with 12-20 Dead Wood-Pigeons, Harrington& Richardson S/B 12b Couple of boxes of cartridges, Quart Bottle of'Scrumpy"...The Peddles were a Must!! I once was 'Entrusted to carry a matched pair of Purdey 12b Guns from The Irongate Factory all the way to the "West London Shooting Grounds" in "Soft-Bags Slung across my back"....I was 17 and lusting for a Real Motor-Cycle. This photo was in Jan 1970. My Father had found my Ist M/C.in the back of a old garage...an it still "Ran"(Note the front Forks, My Old Man" made them from a copy of his 1933 Brough Superior!) Apologies to Glenthorn I feel "Us M/Cycle-Heads" have done a"Dick Turpin on Hampstead Heath" to his original Thread!!! cc/dt.
