Of course this picture is mirrored, look at the numbers! So we are looking at the left sides of the bikes (the primary drive side) which makes it very hard to distinguish what kind of engine they have. Looking at the nice exhaustpipes of bike No. 17 I guess it is a 250 or 350 from mid '30s as those pipes were the fashion then. The tankbadge looks like Ariel, but it could very well be a Triumph or BSA. The bike with No. 16 could be a Velocette (KTS? look at the oil pipes to the cilinderhead) from mid 30's if I look at the tank and badge. |

After looking at the other picture that features the bike with number 17 from the right side, I think it is probably a Triumph T80 -- Last edit: 2009-10-16 15:09:25 |

I checked again and looking at the picture at /vehicle_247572.html I think bike no. 17 is a 500cc BSA Bluestar from '34 or '35. -- Last edit: 2009-10-18 18:54:05 |
