Look to the left....that is a famous old photograph.  I will give 2 litres of used 10W-40 motorcycle oil to any person who can figure out why that photo is so cool!   I am the final judge!

The picture is far to small for these + 40 eyes to derive anything useful.

A gay Nazi biker trying to pick up a stranded British Naval officer somewhere near Dunkirk circa 1939?

he died on one too, right?  :roll:
Okay, not the bike's fault. Dammit was it a Norton or indeed a Suzuki? I was thinking a british bike, chauvinism is everywhere.

Well, it's T. L. Lawrence (of Arabia) on a Brough Superior (which is the kind of bike he was on when he died), but beyond that, I haven't a clue.

I like the furry, pimp gloves he's wearing!  That is a Brough Superior, but who is the guy on the left?

That's Lawrence on the right and he's talking to George BROUGH himself, inventor and allround good guy!  lawrence of Arabia died on a BS but nobody is sure if he just had an accident or if a mysterious 'black car' that some witnesses saw and some didn't, forced him off the road.

George Brough had a heart attack and died pretty much when he was riding another one of his prototypes.

  See why I love the shot???????

Red!  You're the first to notice!  Yes!  a distant relative .  Apparently, he had a prostitute one time who gave birth in a cabbage patch....four generations later I am the result!

You get the used oil!  Where do I send it?
