Continental engines by Rolls Royce

 This 1962 ad promotes the fact that the famous engine company had acquired a license to manufacture and sell American designed Continental light plane engines. The agreement lasted at least though the 1970s.

Flat tank Sunbeams

For 1924 Sunbeam introduced an OHV engine for their 350 and 500c sporting motorcycles. Billed as gentlemen's racers, the model 8 and 9 were fast and attractive, being finished in gloss black with gold pinstriping. The Sunbeam company was known for their quality finishes.

Graham Walker, Murray Walker's dad to you and I, joined the company as racing manager at that time and the bikes enjoyed a successful racing career. 1928 marked the last year for the flat tank styling, after that they adopted the saddle tank which was placed over the lowered top frame tube.

Retired Sno Cat

 I think I need one of these things too. This one is doing duty as a gate guard at the Camden Maine Snowbowl.

Honda RC148

 Here's a picture that only tells half the story. You'll note the clutch is spinning. This 5 cylinder 125cc engine has a redline near 20,000 rpm, no flywheels and with a megaphone for each 25cc cylinder the noise must have been close to indescribable. The rest of the story here.

Happy Birthday, James Naismith

 Canadian born inventor of the game of basketball. It would be interesting to see the first few games, he might not recognize what it turned into. 

Sidecar - No delivery on Sunday

 The Royal Mail purchased a large order of delivery vehicles from Royal Enfield in 1922.
