British Bikes / Re: Hello I am new and looking for a little advice.

Thank you for the replies. The BSA B31 does to a especially nice bike but I think 33d6 is right if I get a similar bike it could mike life a little simple. I also know my friend restored his own bike so if anything does go wrong he should know how to fix it. I found out he has a 1958 Francis Barnett Model 81 with the 10E motor. I do not really want the same bike but are there any bikes with the same or very similar motor fitted you would recommend? Thnaks

Hello,

I am new to classic / vintage bikes and just need a little help. My farther was a big bike nut and I always loved the photos of his many old bikes. I told my self I would get one my self one day but never did get round to it. That is until out of the blue the other day my best friend I have knowen almost all my life turned up at the weekend on a old 1958 bike ( sorry I forget the make and model ) with a old Villers 200cc 2 stroke engine. He had this mad idea of riding across Europe in the summer on classic bikes. I thought he was mad but said ok. Now I don't have a clue about such old bikes. So I am looking for advice on what would be a good bike to start looking at. I don't know if this makes any differences but I am a full time mechanic and my friend is a amateur car restorer so we both have a bit of mechanical knowledge to keep them running on out trip.

Many Thanks
