Rikki-Tikki to you Sir !

I can't see this frame in the ledgers but in the engine book, it appears to have been an Irish conttact bike - despatched to Ministry of Defence, Dublin.

Which basically means that I don't have a clue. If it had been British War Office, I could have arrived at some conclusions from the serial number but an Irish bike despatched miles out of sequence, who knows ? Were they built and stored, built up from old parts or built to latest pattern ? I just don't know.

Are you able to find the Dublin registration for it ? Comparing Irish photos is going to be the only way forward here.

Sir Rik

Thank you

This was a later batch, i have the registration number & will post it later

These bikes, ihave seen a few can be a mixture of outgoing older parts & incoming mod spec parts

I have some bikes with big tanks lights & combo levers & steel footpegs along with std forks - rubber damping long gone

You also that the frame no sequence seems to belong in 1940 not 1941

Its like the 1940 run was halted, put aside & rerun a year later

I could find no reference to these bikes anywhere in the military archives - only in the public records where registration details were kept

Very odd
