The Royal Enfield Flying Flea, a WW2 motorcycle dropped with the troops for fast mobilization after landing (thanks Stephen!)

Complete with its own parachute and packing cage, the Flying Flea could be dropped from an aircraft along with the troops provided a means of motorized battlefield transport not previously available.

The Flea was fitted into a steel tubular cage called the ‘Bird Cage’, which had a parachute attached to it. The cage aided in packing turning handlebars easily

One neat feature of the “Flying Flea” was its girder front end that was actually ‘sprung’ by thick rubber bands similar to cargo straps

When at Pebble Beach, make friends, you never know where it might lead to, as Claus Muller was delighted to find out, he was invited to tour a private collection of a Maharajah

Above, the collection is partly in a roundhouse, I think it's a great way to access a large collection for a driver, I have no idea if the architect was informed that the display factor would be important

The 1914 Rolls Royce that sparked the tour invitation, was brought to the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours

Above, the original Shell gas station that is inside the palace, as the only gas engine vehicles of the time were owned by the Maharajah. Makes sense!

 While visiting India, the author of the website was also interested in seeing the local repair shops to contrast them with what he is familr with in Germany
