Europe on bikes, 1953
Here is a lovely set of photos of a motorcycle grand tour of europe in 1953. Look how glamourous they look compared to today's scruffy lot! (Apologies to anyone who does tour in a suit!)
SS100 Enjoy.

Great photos, I wonder if any of those bikes are still in existance, there might be a chance that the Brough is.
Those were the days you went to Savile Row before a tour rather than Hein Gericke.

those are really cool!
Why do the 70s look so cool? I wonder how we will look back on the 2010s. Photos were so precious, now we are so trigger happy with the cameras

Ah, those were the days when a Triumph tool kit consisted of one very large adjustable spanner, no plug in diagnostics or specialisted dealer network needed then.
