AH! AJS, Norton, Villiers, Matchless, Vincent, Royal Enfield, Excelsior, Ariel, Brough, BSA, Triumph.....all register heavily on my pysche to this day as the motorcycles of my youth. My grandfather rode an Excelsior, my older brother a Triumph, one a friend a Villiers another an Ariel Square 4, and I a Norton. There's just something about British motorcycles.
A better pic of the AJS and also one of my father's first motorbike, a BSA Bantam.
