Welcome John, there are a lot of old motorcycle enthusiasts on this forum.

I used to live in Rusper and Lower Beeding about 60 years ago, I last went to Horsham about 12 years ago.

Hello John & welcome. As Old Mart says, there are plenty of mtorcycle enthusiasts here 'though I don't know how many have such a specialist interest.

Any questions? You have but to ask.

Welcome to the Forum!

Before moving here, lived in Shoreham, and then Burgess Hill, working for the local green and cream bus company, so visited Horsham occasionally. Hope to be in Shoreham, for a reunion, next February.

We loved living in West Sussex!.

Engineers tend to take an interest in anything mechanical, whether Road transport, Railway, Stationary, Timekeeping, or anything else.

Consequently, you will see lots of comments on lots of subjects here. Almost every one will be of interest, and a source of knowledge.

Is it a Zundapp? The other is obviously a BMW (I hope).

Just a belated welcome John from an old Sussex ilk born 'n' bred. Regularly travelled to Billingshurst to manage private land and grounds 10years ago.

Good machine examples you have. I like most old I/C powered machines. Oldest one for me was a 1921 Villiers MkV powered Mower Pusher from a rusty garden sculpture which now has a renewed life and is in the Hassocks Museum of Gardening if you're ever that way.

Regards Richard.
