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 was replaced by a Triumph Bonneville which I owned for ten years. My main bike now is a 2006 BMW R1200ST. I can't be bothered changing the name of the blog, so we're stuck with it!

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.
