1953 European Motorcycle Trip

[niteman]

Just happen to randomly run across this story yesterday and had to share it. It's a pretty cool look into the past where several people took a ~2K mile road trip through Europe in the early 50's. A couple of old school Triumphs and a Brough S100 w/sidecar. Great stuff!

The article was written by the son of the guy who owned the S100 and he did a decent job of retelling their travels. Enjoy

That's awesome, Thank you for sharing it.  I'll post it up on the V4 Honda site and the ST site.

I love looking at old black and white motorcycle and touring pictures. We actually have a thread around here someplace with a bunch of them.

That photo of the old plane unloading the bikes is super cool. We should all dress up in coats and ties and go bombing around sometime.

Glad you guys enjoyed it as much as I did. I love old bikes like that.

I'd be down for that, that would be something to see. Too bed we can't get ahold of some vintage rides it.
