DunnoIs this the same moto in the opening scene of Lawrence of Arabia? We started watching the movie last night. Great movie so far.
One of the greatest movies of all time!! T.E Lawrence was good friends with my great grandad 3 times removed Thomas Hardy. That's my claim to fame!Is this the same moto in the opening scene of Lawrence of Arabia? We started watching the movie last night. Great movie so far.

As you take the road to Bovington tank museum on the left is Clouds Hill cottage, a little way down from there is a memorial to the spot of were he had taken evasive action to avoid some kids on push bikes that lead to his death, he died six days later!!View attachment 112145
From Wikipedia:
Lawrence was a keen motorcyclist and owned eight Brough Superior motorcycles at different times.[163][164] His last SS100 (Registration GW 2275) is privately owned but has been on loan to the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu[165] and the Imperial War Museum in London.[166] In 1934, he motorcycled over 200 miles from Manchester to Winchester to meet Eugène Vinaver, editor of the Winchester Manuscript of Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur,[167] a book which he admired and carried on his campaigns.[168]
On 13 May 1935, Lawrence was fatally injured in an accident on his Brough Superior SS100 motorcycle in Dorset close to his cottage Clouds Hill, near Wareham, just two months after leaving military service.[169] A dip in the road obstructed his view of two boys on their bicycles; he swerved to avoid them, lost control, and was thrown over the handlebars.[170] He died six days later on 19 May 1935, aged 46.[170] The location of the crash is marked by a small memorial at the roadside.[171] One of the doctors attending him was neurosurgeon Hugh Cairns, who consequently began a long study of the loss of life by motorcycle dispatch riders through head injuries. His research led to the use of crash helmets by both military and civilian motorcyclists.
If you can get a good book on his career give it a read, he was a very complex man that had a love for motorcycles and going fast, a legend!!View attachment 112145

This was a long while ago, Kev was a good kid younger than me and when me and his sister parted we went out seperate ways.
Kev died two up with another lad on an rd350 at Billing aquadrome a big water park near Northampton, he lost it on a bend either on the way in or out of the Aquadrome but they went under another vehicle.
I was staying in accommodation the other side of Northampton and I was reading the free paper and read about it i couldn’t believe it, no mobile phones or facebook etc in them days just accidentally read about it and nobody knew how to contact me, one good thing about tech is we can be in touch quick

The 1125R, still weird looking (less you put a fairing on it), is something to check out. A beast (over used moniker, but applicable in this case) straight out of the box.For good reason looking at that effigy.. however they is a Buell Hamerhead that looks a real thing, no electronics just a throttle, gears and brakes and it looks pretty cool
Good bike but very heavy
