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
OK, what's this week's 'Mystery bike'? I'll give you a clue - it's not a BMW.
Well spotted! Bet you spent hours on the Internet searching for it. I hadn't heard of Hoffmann until I saw one in the museum I visited in France last year. Very nice looking bike with an unusual gearbox setup. More later.
BHS?
ReplyDeleteI know it's the same colour as an up-market kitchen appliance, but it wasn't sold in a department store!
DeleteGot it! It's a Hoffmann S300 Gouverneur.
