Sunken ship with motorcycles
Long video with dumb intro. Skip to between 4:30 and 7:30 for bikes and other vehicles.

They're a bit beyond restoration.

Bsa wm20
That's an incredible video, close to my heart. According to the Wikipedia article about that vessesl, it was headed for Egypt in 1941 and part of its load was BSA motorcycles. They appear to be the WM20 model, a 500 cc single side-valve, rigid frame, girder forked model. The "W" stands for war model. I had one of those bikes, and it had come to the USA from the desert in Egypt. Built like tanks and equally heavy, I believe they topped out at about 12 HP, but had enough torque to pull tree trunks. I wish I still had that one.

Wow, mc, I can only imagine. It's an eerie but fascinating site.

It'd be a great dive site. I'd like to dive Truk Lagoon, which is littered with Japanese warships.

Nothing a bit of cutting compound wouldn't fix. You could use wet and dry paper. 
Thanks for sharing
