    My favorite Principality has announced these 2 issues with nostalgic Moto-Bikes for early September:

    here is the description, taken from their site:

    Motorcycles from the last century round off the Collections in Liechtenstein series. In 1928, the "M. Thun" (value CHF 0.85) rolled out of the motorcycle works in Vienna. Equipped with a 490 ccm JAP engine, the motorcycle was ridden in the 1950s complete with sidecar. The current owner, who acquired it in 1988, carried out the extensive modernisation of the machine over the following three years. The "Harley-Davidson" (value CHF 1.00) from the year 1920 is equipped with a 1000 ccm V engine and originally boasted a magnetic ignition and a gas lamp. Over the years it was converted with original parts to battery ignition and electric light.
    The "Norton" motorcycle (value CHF 1.50) with a sidecar Type Stolz dates from the year 1948 and is equipped with a Königswellen single-cylinder 30 HP engine. Its current owner has completely restored the tractor unit with sidecar to its original condition. The "Rudge" (CHF 2.00) is still riding the highways with its original number plate FL50. Prince Emanuel of Liechtenstein was its first owner and rode the machine, imported into Switzerland in 1933, until 1945. Since undergoing a complete restoration at the end of the 1970s, this machine, too, is still roadworthy.

    In addition, a so-called "Collector-sheet" will be issued. The 10 stamps of CHF 1.00 each are of course valid for postage and the sheet is sold at face value.
    :yes:

    Those of you, who might be attracted by those Veterans are invited to order in direct at Liechtenstein.
    One set and sheet are slightly OVER CHF 15.00 and therefor qualified to be supplied free of postage
    (worldwide)

    ...........get your motor running
    :cool:
