Your right BAR, a Triumph it is. The spring is identical but the front end itself is a tad different then the Model H you linked to,, maybe a beefier military version....

Hmmm,,, German soldat, WW2?? I know!! I know!! Harley Davidson.!!!

Edit,, this is the first time since my accident 6yrs ago I've discussed motorcycles,,,, big step for me...

For those who are interested, Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk has the book "Adventures of a Motorcycle Despatch Rider" by Capt. W.H.L. Watson in Kindle and hard copy editions. It is a good read and offers some insight into, and a different perspective of, the early days of WWI.

Those blokes are keen!

Pretty sure I would not want to do a spin around something like the Nurburgring dressed like that.

Helmet, TIE, Lederhosen and no shirt?
