I was looking at the picture of Grand-dad Morris on his motorbike again this morning.
With a bit of digital wizardry I was able to get the name of the bike: A Coventry Eagle.

Fitted with a 250cc twin port villiers engine, back in 1933 the bike cost £36.00 new. She still has her brass headlight & tail lights and brass horn. |
I found this in a UK online classic bike sales site. Looks like the same creature!
I wonder where Grandad's bike went... it's probably long gone.
Thirty six quid brand new! That 247cc engine could push the bike up to sixty miles per hour. I can imagine Bill thundering down winding Norfolk roads on that Eagle...
