    vintage Douglas.

    1924 Douglas 350cc twin.
    very original bike.
    Was sent to Hyderabad India in the late 20's
    and ended up stateside at some point.
    early age of motorcycling and a pretty simple machine.

    I have a 1934 New Imperial model 23. Douglas and New Imperial were rivals until the war. They are so simple it's actually hard to work on lol. Like it can't be this easy but it is.

    Is it yours?vintage Douglas.-img_20220925_091405558_hdr-jpg

    I just got back from the Isle of Man where there's a museum that has several of these. I had never heard of them until seeing them there...very cool.

    Re: vintage Douglas.

    hasn't been run in about 5 yrs but was drained of fluids before being parked
    Yep I own it , It's very simple and won't take much to get running.
    I love looking at this thing and seeing how things were done back in the day.

    You should bring it to lars for the next British or extinction day. It will be amongst it's people. It doesn't even need to run.
