Old Prester motorcycle
Prester
Hello, I have an old Prester motorcycle. I bought it from the estate of a gentleman here in Santa Barbara. It is completely original and with a little effort runs me around the block a time or two. I have a lot of questions regarding the bike and would welcome any and all assistance. One more thing, the last time it was registered it was in China so it still carries Diplomatic plates as the owners father was the American Ambassador at the time. Pretty cool. I'll send off some photos soon if you wish.

The bike appears to be a Prester B1 of about 1936 vintage. Ed.

There's the remains of a logo just under the petrol filler hole. Do you have any images of this.I'd much appreciate any info. I've been given just the petrol tank,mudguards,rear rack and the two diddie fish tail silencers to sort out, the frame and forks are being tinkered with by a guy in Marseille.

My Father is in the process of putting together a Prester, which he recently brought back from France. As yet I have not been able to find him any information on the web but if you know what a good starting point may be, it would be really useful :-)
If I find anything in the meantime, I'll drop you a line....
Kindest regards.
