    Prize is free camping at my home farm here in Jersey, Channel Islands

    This may be very obvious and you will get it in minutes, I have no idea.

    I was shown this amongst many other bikes, in a neighbours garage while staying with friends outside Salzburg in Austria.

    I have doctored the images to remove the clue.

    Can anyone tell me the make and model of this motorbike

    From the carb view I thiunk it's a 250. Derned things were a bitch to start even brand new. Was a good starter bike for a few of us who were learnin to ride back in the 60's.
    Boat fare for me and my ride included?

    I tried out a used 350 back in 74 when I started riding again. It ran good but the thing that scared me away was that when I accelerated a bit, it wanted to push oil up through the hole in the case where the clutch rod went through.:cool:

    Well, yes,very well done,it is Harley, but that is not the name on the side panels and the tank...Arramanchi Harley Davidson...or similar spelling.

    cc...I will check on that, but do think the bloke said it was much smaller than that... I am sure he said 100cc. Will fire off an e-mail later.

    I am just off the boat from France now, and the camera is still in the tank bag in the garage, so will post the complete pics with the name included later
