Gorgeous bikes. There were a collection of old motorcycles at the Maitland Steamfest in the grounds of the church, but we went into a café for a cuppa and scone late in the afternoon and when we came out they were packing them up, so no photos.

@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel the brass bits are the Gas headlight, the horn and the round chamber for producing the gas for the light:)
Tecchie bit:-
calcium carbide granules are placed in a lower chamber, the upper reservoir is then filled with water. A threaded valve mechanism is used to control the rate at which the water is allowed to drip into the chamber containing the calcium carbide. By controlling the rate of water flow, the production of acetylene gas is controlled. This in turn, controls the flow rate of the gas and the size of the flame at the burner, and thus the amount of light it produces, that's also how it work on cars before generators were fitted to power the lights, every days a school day, lol:)
