My father, Ronald Green, had this photo of himself taken many
years ago in England.
He wrote the following on the back of it:
"Aboard a Brough-Superior about 8-10h.p. It's the 'hottest' thing I've
known. Special racer with overhead-valves, large plated exhausts, electric
equipment throughout, & two carburettors. Note big brake drums - it
needs them! At 'fifty' it is just running nicely. I don't think anyone
could attempt its top-speed on ordinary roads. This bike costs about
120 pounds in England. Everything has a wonderful finish. Note silver-plated
petrol tank."
