Doing some groundwork at the moment and yesterday exposed a hole beneath the surface containing this and a few other bits and pieces, including the other wheel…
Here’s the hole fwiw…
The hole must have been made at least 40 years ago, probably more. I’m thinking it’s an old motorcycle wheel. The other bits and bobs are what appear to be wire fencing of some sort, an old jerry can and a metal bed frame. I thought I’d stumble across a skeleton of some wartime fellow who’d come to a sticky end, what with there being an old WWII German helmet stashed in an old shed just over the way from here.
Anyway – ideas or knowledge would be appreciated. Just a bit curious as to its era.
I had a 1965 Triumph Tiger 90 with a wheel like that. The brake drum/sprocket is splined to the main wheel and a spindle ran through the lot so the wheel could be dropped out leaving the sprocket in place.
Bit of chrome polish will sort it!
Saw a programme before where someone stripped a car down to parts and buried it during WW2 so it wouldn’t be scrapped for making tanks/planes. It was dug up years later and restored
