Great, professional looking shots. I want the Velly!

ps: Is that a Shovel Head Harley pretending to be a Brough Superior in the last shot?

Skida, you might be right about the engine in the B.rough as it was built as a replica.
Trev, can't tell you the story of the BMW but it did look sweet.
Patrick, you can see why it's one of my annual must go to events. Last year the event combined with the annual Italian bike event which made it a bit of a bonus.

the BMW is a "berlin sunrise" cocktail, frame probably series /6, engine mixed between /6 parts and /7 parts, gear change & double iginition are custome made, as well as the seat and the spoiler, the carburators are from 90S or Ducati, cylinder head caps from /5 series, wheels and brake system form early /7 1000ccm series, if gear has a kick start it is earlier as / 7 series, but i do not see here


btw..i like your pictures, nealy forgot to mention while thinking 30 years back.....

Lovely shots but in the last photograph of the Black Shadow, the owner has removed a lot of black paint from the engine and frame etc so it is not quite a "Black Shadow" of course it's just my opinion as maybe some were made with less black paint Wink

edit: Oh wait it could be a "Rapide" Rolling Eyes
