subz, we got 4 in a row by looking for an anwser chronologically. We prolly wouldn't have found them so quick if we werent doing it that way.
I insisted it was chronological, and up to that question it was.

His motorcycles were numbered George I to George VII, perhaps factory numbers or just as an honor to his friend, George Brough, who built the motorcycles. His last motorcycle, George VIII, was on order when Lawrence died on George VII. Lawrence gave the same personal name to each of his motorcycles: Boa, which was short for Boanerges which means Sons of Thunder.

BOA George: 7 Brough Superiors owned and ridden by T.E. Lawrence aka Lawrence of Arabia. T. E. Lawrence numbered his Brough Superior motorcycles after their maker: George I, George II, George III, George IV, George V, George VI, and George VII. They all had the name BOA, short for Boanerges - god of thunder. Lawrence was killed in an accident when riding George VII while awaiting delivery of George VIII.

TE Lawrence, immortalised as Lawrence of Arabia, had an unceasing passion for motorcycles and, like so many other men of his generation, began riding during the First World War. Following the publication of 'Seven Pillars of Wisdom' Lawrence bought his first Brough Superior, a 1922 Mark 1, thus beginning a long association with the marque and its owner, George Brough. Lawrence named his Broughs 'Boanerges', meaning 'sons of thunder', and called them George I, George II, and so on. George VIII was ready for collection at the time of Lawrence's death.

Apparently the question writer didn't make an error.

After the Second World War De Mohrenschildt settled in Dallas where he worked for the oil millionaire, Clint Murchison. Please see reference to Murchison’s dossier in next post. During this period he got to know Jackie Kennedy. In October, 1962 De Mohrenschildt became friends with Lee Harvey Oswald in Fort Worth. He suggested that Oswald should move to Dallas.

...On the 13th of May 1935 Lawrence crashed Boanerges only a short distance
from the cottage at Clouds Hill in which he revised his masterpiece "Seven
Pillars of Wisdom" whilst serving as a private in the Tank Corps at Bovington
in the 1930s....
..Lawrence was riding the 1000cc Brough back to his cottage in England on
May 13, 1935 when he apparently highsided the bike after trying to avoid
two boys on bicycles. He died in a nearby hospital six days later from
injuries suffered in the crash...
...After his accident, the bike was returned to the factory where it was
repaired and sold. It has been owned by a motorcycle historian in southern
England for the past 20 years who now wants to sell it because of failing
health. Experts say that a Brough in the same condition as Lawrence's -
but without its history - could fetch up to $85,000. There are only an
estimated 1,000 or so Broughs still surviving, but the $3 million price
tag for Lawrence's machine has raised some eyebrows. Truss said he
had recently turned down an offer of $2.5 million from an American
collector for the bike.
