Pretty amazing (and just a little creepy) that you found this in front of the very cemetery where TEL is buried. It is a beautiful, classic machine.

Wow, what a classic! Perfect that it was parked just outside the Cemetery.

Thanks Hal, yes the accident took place about three miles or so from here, portrayed in the film Lawrence of Arabia starring Peter O'toole.

That's amazing, Tony, to see the old bike like T.E.L rode
so many years ago. l remember seeing a movie re-enactment of his accident
on a narrow country lane.
This is a great "catch" Tony
