Very nice What a collection you have and a very nice tribute, I can't see those going anywhere anytime soon I don't want to dig too much but I guess the BSA has been repaired? I remember you said he'd had an accident on it

The BSA has only very very minor damage mate , Indicators smashed , few scratches and a bent foot rest and front brake leaver , we are still waiting for the insurers to pay up

He died of internal injuries as he took the brunt of the crash


Thanks so much for the replies Im very proud of them and think they look fantastic sat there

My Dads mates for the N,Y british bike club will be coming to see them in the next few days , it will be quite imotional
