I think these engines were made in Tongham, Surrey and my old grand
father worked there?

Blackburne Motorcycle
1921 - single
Today I ran across a 1921 Blackburne, equipped with a Corvette sidecar
for sale. I had never heard of a Blackburne before. Is there
a place that information on these is available?
...
It was on display next to a stop on a poker run I was on. It was in
West Point, NE outside of Peterson's Autobody. I guess they restore old
cars there and did so for the owner of the
Blackburne. The guy from Peterson's said the owner wanted $21,000
for it.
