“754” ...... here’s a photo of the Douglas in Victoria. The couple “Test riding” are local CVMG members that have been riding rigs together for 50+ years. I fired it up last year so they could have some fun.

Lovely bike. Unlike some earlier versions, this 4.5 h.p. version had the usual manual pump feed, oil feed system, BUT, there was a small scavenge pump that returned sump oil back to the main oil tank (1/2 the fuel tank area). Working clutch and three speed box too!

The guy that owns it now is using it regularly!
