Cruisin' on my Bluebird
@Mercian requested that I post this picture that I had posted in my old photo album here in the military forum.

It's a color slide from 1956. It was labeled Hawaii, 1956 USMC soldier and Jeep. The bike looks to be a Westfield built Columbia.

Thanks cds2323 (-:

Interesting to see it still in use at least 12 years after it was made.

The door insignia is 3rd Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division who were based in Hawaii in 1956.

Best Regards,

Adrian
 
Thanks for posting the pic.
I believe that the bike pictured is a Marine Corp issued MC serial # version. Drop stand, no headlight ( no mounting holes in the fender either) and the heavy duty motorcycle style rims.
Do you still have the original slide?
Thanks again
Tom
