I love and will miss all of these old posters. It would be nice if this event were resurrected. It would also be nice to see similar events in the U.S.

BSA in decent shape for $50 near me.

I might rather have the Humber though, a bit further away

The BSA would be my choice.
I would think it to be rarer,

Yes. '65 Benelli 250. Barracuda in the US but called a Sprite elsewhere. It's a twin to the Sprite I had in my youth which unfortunately suffered from my abuse and subsequent neglect in storage under the care of a friend. Still in pieces at this point but one day it will be Motogiro USA worthy.

We all seem to like:
- British machines (not sure why?)
- Things with two wheels
- Fixing stuff up

Raleigh Sports for My Daughter
I'm getting this Raleigh ready for my daughter. She's outgrown her Space Rider and a Dunelt. She likes coaster brakes, so I got an AWC (ii) hub and a dynohub and laced them to Sun CR-18s. Creme Delta Cruisers. I think I have the lights sorted. I have a B66s for her, but she says she likes the monstrosity that came with the bike.
