The Douglas Dragonfly
Vincent. Brough. Henderson. Excelsior. Ariel.
Those brands are familiar.
Douglas?
A new marque to me. (And doesn't that engine look like an old boxer BMW?)
It's British. Owned by the brothers Douglas, the company was the first to experiment with disc brakes on their racing bikes (in the 1920's!)

Ah, British motorcycles and sports cars. Only for the obsessed youth and the mature with lots of disposable income. All others are just, in British terms, bonkers.
For the even further deranged, try Italian.
Actually, I think that's a way cool looking bike. . .
Merry Christmas, sir!

Cool! I'd never heard of them, either. By the way, you HAVE GOT to see the movie "One Week". See the review over at my place. But take heed of the warning I issue in the last sentence. Can't have you scooting across the continental divide while you're supposed to be flying around res-a-cuing folks.
Wow, I've NEVER heard of them! Thanks for the education (again)!
WV- MARSA We 'know' what that means...
