Good one Risky, enjoy it to the full. Are you going to be doing the old bike rallys in the van with bike?

Sad to hear the museum is shut, really enjoyed my last visit with so many magic machine on show Love to buy the big one out the front
Risky mate...fxxxxx the pub plenty of room at my place if you need a bed. And a shed to stable the steed.
From my book 'The Encyclopedia of Motorcycles'; "Marusho- Japan 1964-1969 Was a very BMW like 498cc transverse-mounted ohv flat twin with unit designed engine, 4 speed gearbox and shaft drive to the rear wheel. The Marusho was built in the former Lilac factory and destined for mainly the USA."
