Little Yeller Rides Again.

[tinkicker]

Good lord that little bike is a hoot to ride.
Tiny thing with a big heart and much fun at sub 50mph speeds. It is more like a motorised bicycle than a true motorcycle to ride. Very light and flingable.


Of course 50 year old brakes and suspension means you would not want to be going over 50mph on the bumpy country lanes around these parts and a 40 minute ride is enough to give her a little exercise.
She is not a bike to be going on a 200 mile run on, she would make it, but I doubt I would. She is very much a popping into town bike or taking to light trails.

Little yeller pays her respects to the 892 British and Commonwealth Aircrew who lost their lives flying Halifax and Wellington bombers over Nazi Germany from RAF Snaith during WW2.

Propeller from a Snaith based Halifax mk3 that ditched into the North Sea not far from the Dutch coast.
The damage to and position of the blades indicate that the engine was shut down and the prop feathered at the time the aircraft crashed into the sea. The propeller shows some signs of shrapnel damage in some places.
