I've been trying to find these pics since the m/c forum got started.

I put my scruffy old M715 in a car show several years ago and the only other MV to show up was this BSA motorcycle. Unfortunately, I was too busy answering questions about my rig to talk with the guy much. It turns out we'd met before at a family function, but I haven't seen him since.

Anyway, enjoy the grainy scanned pics!

That was a BSA M20.

They were used by the British Army and US Army. That one doesn't have the US markings, but many did. They were primarily used by the Army Air Corps in England during WWII, and were supplied by the Brits to the Americans staioned there. Many saw service in North Africa as well.

I have two customers who own M20's. They are really neat bikes and still quite rideable.

Here is a good link with some info:

That is a good link. A couple of other cool MV's in some of the pics, too.
