1933 OK Supreme Flying Cloud, 249 cc. Registration number not registered. Frame number 17801. Engine number PO/D/40567/S.
There is no paperwork with this lot.
In 1882, Ernie Humphries and Charles Dawes founded 'OK' as bicycle manufacturers. They experimented with powered bicycles in 1899 and 1906 before making a two-stroke motorcycle using a Precision engine in 1911. Before the First World War, they had produced motorcycles with Precision, De Dion, Minerva, and Green engines. Their first entry in the Isle of Man TT, in 1912, led to a ninth place and mainly modest results came during the following years when OK-Supreme machines finished in every place from 1st, in the 1928 Lightweight TT, to 10th. In the 1922 TT the fastest lap was set by Wal L. Handley at 51mph on an OK-Supreme but he failed to finish the race. After the First World War, OK produced a 292cc two-stroke motor of its own but also produced models using Blackburne, Bradshaw, and JAP engines. In the 1930s OK Supreme produced a Lighthouse 250cc and 348cc model, so named because of the little inspection window in the cam tower, which was OK-Supreme's final model.
This example has been nearly fully rebuilt, it now needs the last checking over and registering with DVLA.
