Re: brace of W/NG's in Indonesia 1949
I remember being somewhere in Java around 1990 and the town seems to be full of BSA side valves pulling sidecars (M20/M21 I think), these were being used as taxis. They were painted in bright colours and would have parts interchanged with anything that would keep the wheels rolling. I wonder whether they are still there?
