Thanks for help.

Didnt mention I wanted to find out bike to use as reference for a tattoo.

However given the difficulty I may just use the B31 as reference given I know he had one of them. The tattoo will only use image as inspiration anyway given the quality.

He was part of a club and have photos of him during trials using someone elses bike, so likey he could have borrowed one for the jump. So could be anything.

I will post a better photo I found of possible villiers engine trials bike.

I don't know much about Villiars, and I right in saying that if the trials bike is using a Villiars engine it could be from a number of motorcycle manufacturers?

Cheers,
Jon

Hello,

May be a long shot given quality of photo, but hoping someone might be able to help identify or confirm the bike my Grandad rode the ring of fire with.

From other photos I think he rode a 1946ish BSA B31. Not sure he would of used that in this stunt?

I also know he did trials, which he may have had a triumph for.

Other photos attached show the BSA, he is at the back of Lands End photo, and that is my great grandad on it in the single shot. Then him during a trial.

He would have been riding in the late 40s/early to mid 50s.

Any help is much appreciated.

Jon
