Transportation for Your Parker

[Bruce Day]

Tom, I had a jet in 1969 and 1970 that could get along rather smartly and would even roll upside down. I never tried that on a bike.

Wish you still had the Ariel? Why not look around?

I've had more English cars than an otherwise healthy person should admit to, but loved any pre '50 brit bike. The only exception was a '57 Trophy TR6. My last Ariel became a deluxe take-down '86 Winchester. It was a '37 Red Hunter VH (500) I still have a '47 BSA B32 factory trials bike. Restoring it was my therapy back in the 90s when I was going thru a divorce. I took it to Sturbridge, the big British bike show, took Best British Single, put it back in the barn that night, and it's never been out since.

My favorite of Bruce's pictures is the GM huckster's wagon build from a panel truck. A later small block crate motor and automatic transmission would make it a very useful daily driver. My second choice is the '41 Woody, which should be powered by the original flathead.

In 1966 I "discovered" a '41 woody in al old barn. It was maroon and all I could see that was wrong with it was that it needed tires and there was a bit of rust over one headlight. I asked the old guy who owned it and he said I could have it for $100

Who had $100 back then when he was a senior in high school???
