Lovely shot Mike, and somebody's labour of love to restore the Triumph 650 Bonneville so beautifully. It looks like about a 1965 or so model, but the front brake is from something else. I've not seen one like that before. I owned three 650 Triumphs back in the day, a '58 Tiger 100, '59 Bonneville, and lastly a '69 Trophy.

It's been a while since I've developed. But earlier this year I made my annual pilgrimage to the British Motorcycle Club of Tasmania's annual display at Richmond not far from Hobart. Although it's the smallest state of Australia, truly rare and interesting machines are over-represented in Tasmania.

This 1914 Dayton got my attention by the entrance.
500C/M; 250mm Sonnar f/5.6; Acros 100; tripod, cable release etc; ID-11 1 + 3 20C/16m.

A closer look at the powerplant:

The auction of this 1951 Vincent Black Lightning last year set a world record price. It's return to Australia is fitting, given an extended early history in the country with its second owner, Jack Ehret, which included breaking the Australian land speed record in 1952 with a run of 141.5 mph.
500C/M; 150mm Sonnar f/4; Acros 100; ID-11 1 + 3 20C/16m; cropped to 3:2 ratio from 6x6 negative.

I did some 35mm images with a Leicaflex & 50mm Summicron-R so in due course there may be a few more images from the display.

Nifty machinery, wonderful preservation! This motor is interesting in part because it appears to be a side-valve exhaust combined with overhead valve intake!
 
Another couple of images from the Richmond motorcycle display.
Here's the Black Lightning again in the foreground. Behind it are several other machines belonging to the same owner—two more Vincents, and a Brough Superior. The Vinnie on the left is a Rapide, a series B, perhaps, because I think it still has Brampton forks. That to the right I was personally quite delighted to encounter, having read about it for many years but not previously seen one real life—it's rather rarer than most Vincent twins—the pre-war Series A, a fundamentally different design in many ways to later models.

500C/M; 40mm Distagon f/4; Acros 100; ID-11 1 + 3.

A close up of the Series A motor.
