1920's Superbikes

1928 McEvoy-JAP with a 980cc v-twin

This one (above) was for sale at Verralls in January 1991.

1927 Model C McEvoy (above) which looks a little odd - maybe the tank is not in the correct alignment?

An AJW

About 1910 ish so not 1920's but still looks more engine than frame.

1924 Montgomery 8/38. Fitted with British Anzani 996cc, 8 Valve, 57 degree

George Patchett on an Anzani powered beast at Pendine (probably).

Coventry Eagle Flying 8

and another one.

And another less sporty one.

George W Patchet following a win at Pendine in 1925, George worked for Brough then McEvoy and ran quick bikes at Brooklands in the 20's.

He then worked for FN & then JAWA through the 30's and when WW2 came he moved to Enfield's Armament Production team where he invented the Sub machine gun - as you do...

McEvoy Vee twin sand racer used at Cefn Sidan plus Pendine, George Patchett's British Anzani engined machine seems to have rather scant protection!

A sporty looking Brough spotted at Brooklands.

R E Thomas of Glogue Nr Whitland on his machine received from Brough by rail to Glogue Station in 1926 he raced this at Pendine & Also won the Cen Sidan Speed Trials in June & Sept 1927.
