Your excellent web site does not include certain European sidecars
that you may wish to add:
Danish sidecars: Bender, Dania, Star, Sterling, Engstrom, and Nimbus.
Your photos of Nimbus combiinations include ACAP and, I believe,
a green Nimbus sidecar. Additionally, there are several photos of
a red Nimbus motorcycle with a red sidecar that has vertical chrome or
alloy trim strips and a blunt nose. That sidecar is not identified
in the captions but it is a Dania.

Just thought you would like to know that a Nimbus is featured
on the Index page, as well as the billboard ads, for the upcoming International
Motocycle Festival in St. Louis, Missouri (USA). The webpage says the event
is April 27-29, 2007. I am a resident of St. Louis, and after checking
out the website, I had to find out more about the Nimbus.

Bruce Main-Smith's Nimbus
Bruce's Nimbus was manufactured during or after 1947,
VIN number 7500 or higher. Prior to mid 1947 the Nimbus had two big differences,
namely a low front end and seat coil springs. After VIN number 7500 the
manufacture went to rubber band seat suspension and the hig front end.
Attached are photographs of a newly restored 1938 with ACAP sidecar.

Two questions: When did the valve springs on the C model get inclosed?
And what would be the weight of a 1955 Nimbus with sidecar.
And a request: to enhance the article I would like to run a picture
of a Nimbus ad from the early 1950s -- would you have one that could be
photocopied/digitalized?
Many thanks, Clement

Nimbus
Your picture of the weddingcake does not load. I have a Nimbus on my
website, page 2005, scroll down. http://www.motormeisje.nl
also in english.
I just had contact with the owner of the Nimbus. According to him they
made this type from 1938 - 1953 at the Nilfisk factory in Danmark. It has
a differential and open valves and the camshaft below. But he was willing
to have a look at the type plate and mail me the details.
Mr. Pol also told me, when I had him on the phone last night,
that in the fifties, the postmen in Denmark used the Nimbus for transportation.
The Nilfisk factory is known for its vacuumcleaners.
Greetings, Betty.

A danish stamp with a Nimbus motorcycle is issued on 21. August 2002
This text is for your information: Danish Post vehicles
Flemming Nielsen, -- flemming.nielsen at post.dk
Nimbus 1953 Motorcycle Postage Stamp
Width 39.5 mm
Height 29 mm
Perforations 13.1 x 13.1
The Danish postal service has used a large number of different vehicles
over the years.
When King Christian IV set up the Danish postal service in 1624, mail
was transported around the country on horse, by boat and on foot. Later
on, horse-drawn carriages and stagecoaches were introduced.
The old stagecoach routes were phased out from the mid-19th century
as the railways spread throughout the country, and the first motorised
postmen made their appearance at the start of the 20th century.
The first motorised vehicle, purchased by the Danish Post and Conveyance
Service itself, made its appearance in 1907. It was an Ellehammer motorbike
and sidecar used to transfer mail between Banegårdspostkontoret (the
Railway Post Office) in Copenhagen and Amagerbanen (a separate railway
on the nearby island of Amager). Banegårdspostkontoret stood on the
site of the present-day Palads cinema, a well-known and colourful landmark
in central Copenhagen.
Nimbus
As mentioned above, a motorbike had been used on a trial basis in 1907,
but was deemed a failure. The postal service did not experiment with motorbikes
again until 1923.
This time, three Nimbus motorbikes and sidecars were procured to deliver
express packages in Copenhagen. Another Nimbus was acquired in Brønshøj
for parcel distribution, collection from post boxes and transporting mail
to Lygtekvarteret post office.
Three more Nimbus motorbikes were purchased in 1924 - mainly for collecting
post (always their main use) in the suburbs of Copenhagen. The final Nimbus
runs were made in 1976.
Cheerful postmen emptying post boxes on their Nimbus bikes has passed
into folk memory. They learned to brake from full speed and swerve the
sidecar in under the post box - kerb and pavement were no obstacle - they
just raised the sidecar slightly as they swerved. All they had to do then
was empty the contents of the post-box directly into the sidecar. They
were, of course, told in no uncertain manner that this kind of manoeuvre
was not allowed.
Another attraction was watching the Nimbus bikes return to the post
yard en masse. They would often arrive in one long line - and all with
the sidecar raised at a 45 degree angle.
Nimbus motorbikes were made by Fisker & Nielsen at their factory
in Frederiksberg, Copenhagen. The models supplied until 1933 were known
as "the Stove Pipe". The one featured on the stamp was nicknamed "the Bumblebee".
The postal service took delivery of 165 Bumblebees from 1934-60.
Yours sincerely
Flemming Nielsen

Hello,
I am jungba from south korea.
My friend has an old nimbus motorcycle, and wants to restore this motorcycle.
To begin the restoration, we need to know the exact model of the machine.
However, it is very difficult for me to identify the exact model of his
motorcycle because there are lots of similar models by nimbus.
Can you tell us which model it is from the photo I am attaching herewith?
Thank you in advance for your kind attention. --

Dear Sheldon,
I am the editor of Nimbus Tidende, the magazine for the danish 1,700-member
Nimbus Club. Some time ago I wrote the attached article - in English -
about the Nimbus. It has been updated in late November 2000. If you're
unable to open the file, or if the story is too long, please contact me.
A picture of the older model B is attached, unfortunately in a rather crude
format.

This particular motorbike was delivered to the Danish army 1953 by
the Nimbus manufacturer, Fisker & Nielsen, Copenhagen, Denmark. 1971
it was brought to Sweden and is one of around 130 Nimbus motorbikes still
running in this country.
The Nimbus was the first motorbike in the world with a telescope front
fork. Between 1919 and 1960 around 14000 Nimbus motorbikes were manufactured.
The bike was build for hard use and appreciated by the Danish army, police
and postal services. For a presentation in english see http://home20.inet.tele.dk/nyboe/

There is also a hotlink enabling you to do free text searchings in the

where you can find who the first vendor was, when a particular machine
was delivered, which machines were delivered to the Danish Army and so
