A few months after I posted a photograph of my Mom and Dad on their 1928 Sunbeam Model 90 Rick was contacted to let him know that the Sunbeam still existed and was on display at the National Motorcycle Museum. Rick let me know and yesterday I went to see it.

The Museum kindly let me move it from its plinth and have my photograph taken on it. I put a cap on to look the part!









Thanks to the Museum for all their help. We spent most of the day there as there is so much to see. It is well worth a visit and they serve great lunches.

It was a day well spent.
