Coo, we just got back from the imperial war museum where we not only saw a WW1 tank, which was smaller than I expected, a massive and excellent display of all things WW1 & WW2, and an enigma machine,
but also Lawrence of Arabia's Brough Superior. What more could you ask for from an afternoon at a museum?

I know nothing, I'm not a fortune teller, and you'd be insane to think that I am. This disclaimer was cribbed from an email footer I once received. It is so ridiculous I had to have it for myself.
Statements in this blog that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements regarding my expectations, objectives, anticipations, plans, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward looking statements include risks and uncertainties such as any unforeseen event or any unforeseen system failures, and other risks. It is important to note that actual outcomes could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements.

Comments:
is that the one he crashed on?
good question Dave! ...(thinks)... according the the internet... yes!... the ministry of truth[1] says this:
" It is currently on display at the Imperial War Museum in London."
But I tend to avoid believing anything I read there so refer you to this article instead. Which, helpfully, has a photo!
[1]wikipedia
it does have a photo, which looks a little different, and its a Beaulieu, or was at the time of publishing...
you can never really be sure of the truth, even if you were there at the time.
I think they call it the uncertainty principle...
ah yes, uncertainty can have indeterminate effects, but I believe the bike is on loan, and it has the same reg no, which may mean nothing of course.
I know my photo isn't too great but when I looked at both pictures I think you can make out the same dent in the lower exhaust pipe in both, but ... 2 minutes with a hammer and bobs your uncle.
