New Category for British Motorcycles
As part of the Motorcycling WikiProject I am working though all the missing articles and stubs for British Bikes. To make things easier to sort out I have created a category for British motorcycles. Please will you add to any British motorcycle pages you find or create. It will also help to keep things organised if you use the Template:Infobox Motorcycle or add it where it is missing. I've linked the Category to the Commons British Motorcycles so you could help with matching pics to articles or adding the missing images to the Commons - take your camera next time you go to a rally!

More Info Needed.
The article needs a bit more info. I'll let some one with access to good refs do it.


 * Engine appears to be a Triumph-made single 4-stroke OHC?
 * Oleo forks introduced 1941, and was the first bike to have them?
 * BSA M20 (single 2-stroke) was the main bike of WW2. Selected for low cost and simplicity.
 * Other companies obliged to do near-copies of the M20/21, except for their own engines.
 * Brough Superior bikes were very expensive and so no WD contracts. Broke by 1940.(Broughs in good condition can now fetch over $US200k.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.213.61.186 (talk) 01:46, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
