Is that one of your motors on the boat mate. Beautiful place by the looks of it.

Re: Let the journey begin!
I told the owner how to start his Seagull outboard and some tips to restore it. Judging from the result he did it well.

Re: Let the journey begin!
That's something I promised to Oyster that I will upload. Found on the island and is there from WW2. I don't know if it's rare or what, in any case I was amazed!!

Hi Stellios,
This is a BSA WM20 500cc side valve motor cycle build for the War Department during world war II.
I restored one a few years ago and I stored it between the Seagull's in the shed.

Re: Let the journey begin!
I don't recognise that cylinder it doesn't look like a BSA or an AJS, anything in any of your books Jan?
Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
Re: Let the journey begin!
Hi Charles,
Just click on Stellios picture and you will see the strange cylinder will be an ordinary (W)M20 cylinder motor cycle.
Cheers, Jan

Excellent find Stelios! Whilst in Skiathos a couple of years ago I came across this. Love the open drive shaft and sprung hub. Early 1950s model R31. I've always fancied one of these. The owner worked in the taverna we frequented quite a bit.

Yes your right Jan, I didn't blow the picture up so it appeared to have 10 sloping fins.

Re: Let the journey begin!
Great restoration Jan, I really would like to do something similar to that engine I found in Tinos island.
Oyster you were in Skiathos? Next time let me know please!
Manos? Where are you Manos? I think it's time to post a picture of your BWM.
All these old motorcycles are a kind of art!

Re: Let the journey begin!
I only now came across this thread.
Stelios, did you bring home the WW2 BSA?
As motor bikes are the subject, I would like to post the pictures of my two ones from the 'fifties. I tried but I could not. After hitting the key "Img" , img and /img in square brackets appears in the text but I can't insert the filename of my images ( .JPG).
Would anyone teach me how? And yet I already successfully posted images of my Seagulls (Suppose getting too old - me, not Seagulls).
Thanks
Sandro

Hi Sandro,
I upload the image first on http://www.photobucket.com
Then you can copy the link from this site and paste it here.
Or you can use the forum module. Below the form you write the message there is a button "Upload attachment".
Upload the image from your computer (should not exceed the size limit I think).
And then you press a button nearby "Add the file" and in the end next button is "place in line"
Cheers
Stelios

Re: Let the journey begin!
Thought I would show you one of my ole girls it’s a 1948 BSA M21 600 with a Tilbrook Sidecar she’s looking
a little tired and due for another cosmetic restoration if I ever stop playing with Seagulls.
Originally paid $20.00 dollars for her but that was 40 years ago will cruise at 40-45mph all-day we have toured
most of South Australia, Tasmania and some of the east coast carry a spare head gasket, Exhaust valve and on
long runs a piston in the tool kit only ever needed the head gasket she’s been a good ole workhorse.
