Big Dawg, where is this museum? The only motor bike I ever owned was a beezer 125 - great little machine, but it almost killed me so no more bikes.

Looks like a UK 69 model and a US 71 there both excellent- personally I love the 69 styling with the triple ray gun exhausts it's most definitely of its time. I think it was the BSA version that was reworked into one of the first factory custom bikes, the Triumph X75 Hurricane as designed by Craig Fetter? |

This might fox him, one like it I used to own just for travelling to work (didn't want to get my Tiger 110 too dirty).

OMG my dad had one exactly like that, would you believe he was run over by a bus going in the opposite direction and broke nearly every bone in his body on it in 1953  Survived massive surgery and such and lived for another 50 years, in fact he even got one more bike after it- an Excelsior Talisman twin, which apparently never worked properly so he got a VW Beetle and stuck with 4 wheels after that |

Well I believe in the "butterfly effect"........... that unreliable Talisman could have been lucky in that it persuaded your dad to go 4 wheels and increased his chances of reaching old age.

You are probably right- plus he went down to the Excelsior factory in Birmingham after 2 attempts to get it fixed [something about a 7 bearing crankshaft] and screamed abuse at them for a crappy and unreliable product- thus ensuring it would never be fixed right |

..and I think my Avon fairing is rare esp for the US:-
http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn172/chakrata/triumph.jpg
I also had another bike with half a fairing, and going to France and Italy in the late fifties it was though a British bike was an alien spaceship, as very small crowds would gather round to look at it.
