There’s some thing to be said for a simple, traditional British thumper, and they don’t get an awful lot less difficult than this. It’s a 1949 AJS 18, despatched in via Vincent from the Southsiders MC. The 498cc 4-stroke thumper turned into one of the closing massive-selling British singles earlier than the enterprise turned to twins, however the AJS 18 changed into truly designed earlier than WW2—so it changed into three many years antique by the point production stopped in 1966. This specific version belongs to Polo Garat, a famous photographer from the Basque u . S . A .; the guys shot it throughout a latest weekend even as crossing over the stunning Pyrenean mountains. The bike has been stored in a barn for the beyond ten years, but become ridden every day in the 80s and 90s—and wheeled out for longer travels too, no matter the inflexible rear give up. I will simply imagine this one putt-putting leisurely over the hills, and then parked up in front of a café in an historic city rectangular. Have a extraordinary weekend. [Thanks to Vincent Prat.]
