Identify these bikes! / Re: Can anybody help please?
« on: May 05, 2010, 01:55:02 AM »
Hi.  Thanks to 33d6 and cardan, for your info.  I went back out to the farm where the bike is lying, this morning.  The engine number is 14360, but I cannot find a frame number.  But the old gentleman that owns it, produced an original hand book, for a Radco 1914 2 stoke motorcycle, and it is rated at 2 1/4 horse power.  Which is 62 mm by 70 mm bore and stroke, giving 211cc.  The only major parts I can see missing are the carburator and mag.  It doesn't have any pedals or clutch arrangement, so it looks like you just push start and jump on!  According to the original hand book it has hand written inside the front cover, fixed 50 pound. or 2 speed 57 pound.  So a gear box was obviously an optional extra.  I'm still interested to know what a thing like this may be worth when restored, as to whether it is worth persuing?  Thanks.  Regards, Graeme.

Hi,

I have just found the bones of an old motorbike. 

It has Radco on the engine, Aurora on the fuel tank, and on the head of the frame, is a small alloy plate, with Aurora PH Vickery, Dee Street, Invercargill.

The PH Vickery Invercargill I can understand.  They were BMC agents in Invercargill, Southland, New Zealand. 

I was just wondering if you can help identify as to what it is and how old it is?

Please find attached photos.
