Richard Marsden Hope

A photo of Richard Marsden Hope-we don't know what sort of bike it is-but he loved bikes. This was his private bike. He worked for the NRMA in the 1920-30's as a mechanic in Sydney NSW. Australia. Rode around on their motor bike's helping drivers that had broken down. Later he opened his own mechanic's business in a large shed at back of home in Mortlake. I still remember it was full of machinery, grease and parts soaking in tubs.

Date & Place: Not specified or unknown.
