As most of you already know, our main mechanic Tomasz is a pro ;) A few days ago we had the honor to take in a 1950 Dougles for some mechanical work.. what is that you might ask.. so a bit of history :
Models – Post-War
As peace returned to Europe and the production of civilian motorcycles in Britain resumed, many manufacturers offered what were essentially late ’30s designs, often updated with telescopic forks. Not so Douglas, whose first post-war design was totally new – and radically different.
Douglas Mk4 motorcycle, 1950 – Mark IV In late 1949, the range was updated to become the Mark IV and was expanded to five models; the De Luxe and Sports models were joined by a Competition model and two fast road versions. Visually, the road-going models were distinguished by teardrop-shaped rear toolboxes, while the front mudguard was now attached to the front brake plate and rose and fell with wheel movement. Although black paintwork was still offered, the no-cost option of polychromatic blue proved more popular.
This beautiful bike is back on the road and how it rides you can see on our reels ;)
