The Velobanjogents back in 2017 with a post on archival photos from a late friend's collection...Gary Ross. He was always keen to start a blog such as mine but sadly it never eventuated...

Gary Ross was a lifelong friend of mine, pictured left at the Australian Velo OC "Fagan Park" display day in 2012 who had a passion for motorcycling in the 1920's & 30's, especially JAP engined machines...Brough, Zenith OEC etc...and he sadly passed away in late 2014...his collection of Broughs were auctioned by Bonham's UK at the Stafford Show in October 2015 which I attended and did several posts on...  
Gary was an avid motorcycle historian/researcher and collector of early photos and literature....I've many of them from his computer and while he used a computer he wasn't that computer savvy and many are sadly unlabelled....
Lets start on this first of some posts from his archive with some Brough stuff...as said mostly unlabelled and left by me as such with the odd comment...perhaps you can assist...
