George Brough's Superior Motorcycles...

George Brough and Matchless SS100

How many of you are familiar with George Brough and his motorcycles? Yeah...I've seen them mentioned a time or two...but I've become curious again... I'm doing some research on them... I think I will be writing something on their history in a day or two.  Very cool machines.

For now, have a look at the builder of these incredible machines...he's sitting on his Matchless SS100 .... hang in there... you're in for a good read... guaranteed.

Waiting on Parts...SUCKS

We are all beginning to experience the advance of fall. Some parts of our country is experiencing SNOW in the higher elevations! My brother drives truck, he called to say he will be attaching chains to the wheels and driving west on I-70  overnight.  It's cold in Colorado I guess.

But I don't live in Colorado. I'm in North East Tennessee and the weather dude is predicting the best weather we've seen since early spring!  I'm pissing oil from the lifter block.  A crack has developed. I believed the problem was a pinched O-Ring...how wrong could I be?  Long story short? They don't have the part for my 17 year old Sportster.  Of course this is a holiday weekend. They will have my bike much too long. I'm bummed.  No riding... No cool photos .... this is all I have.

About Me

My Photo
I've been riding since 1971, I'm not anyone special, except to my family. I write about motorcycles, love them more than any non animate object in my life. I've owned a motorcycle continuously since 1971, they haven't always run but they were owned by me. Haven't owned a 4 wheeler in over 25 years. I've traveled through 35 of the 48 contiguous United States on two wheels.
