This blog started when I owned and MZ Skorpion Traveller and a bike magazine dismissed it with the phrase 'you can't tour on a single'. The Skorpion's gone and I now have a Triumph Bonneville, but I can't be bothered changing the title of the blog!

Mystery bike
I'm going to be away from home until the weekend, so you've plenty of time to identify this one.
I'm pretty sure that's a 269cc Villiers engine from the 1920's used by many manufacturers so I'll guess you chose one with a local connection - a Victoria made in Dennistoun, Glasgow? I took a photo of a 1914 Victoria at the bike show in Ayr last year and it had a similar tank & forks.
