Sadly, also out of action in Wymondham market place was this very original-looking BSA M20 (I think!) 500cc side-valve single. To me, it looked a very fine example of a war machine which had been produced in their thousands for use in all theatres of WW2.
However, if I'm wrong with any of these details please let me know.
I was particularly impressed by the originality of the M20, especially the headlight mask.
We then began talking about the old days, and of R O Clark, motorcycle dealers, in Norwich. Then the subject of conversation turned to Lambrettas, whic, it seemed, we both had years ago. But I think I'd better leave it there as I have no wish to upset all those 'Rockers' out there, nor Little Willie either!
