And what a fantastic photo!!  So much so that I thought I'd take the liberty of giving it a bit more "bite".

Would love a hi-res copy of the original.



Thanks for sharing this image.

Yes Rich, that's the best I can get out of the photo. The original is only 2 inches tall. The angle makes things soooo difficult too.

I just can't believe how difficult this one is proving to be. Looks like I'll never know.  ???  Trouble is, I can see bits of everything in it from an AJW, BSA, Triumph to a Rudge.

One day someone will recognise it - I'm sure.

Grrrrrr!  ;D  Bliddy hell!

Of the 2 Rudges at the showroom, one did indeed have a steel shroud, but the other didn't. Doug Hacking tried to explain the differenced being due to the fact that in those days, people swapped bits around from one bike to another all the time because money was so tight. That sounded feasible to me, but.....

Ah well, back to the drawing board!  Will someone PLEASE identify this bliddy thing! :'(

Went into Doug Hacking Motorcycles last week and I spoke to Doug about the photo. Amazingly, he had two Rudge Ulsters in the showroom and sure enough the bike in the photo was identical apart from the hand gear change which was from earlier models according to Doug.

Sadly Doug Hacking just died on Thursday! My sympathies to his family andd friends.

Well, this photo has been on here for almost 2 years, been viewed nearly 1100 times and still no one can positively identify it. I guess I'll never know for sure   :-/

Thanks to those who tried  ;)

This photo is of my Dad who sadly died aged 27. I would love to know the make and model of this bike he's sat on. Any ideas?? Photo dates from early 1950's but I'm guessing the bike is quite a bit older. Some people have suggested it is a Vincent or a Rudge Whitworth.

I thought the gear-lever(?) might have helped identify it.


Regards,

Tom.
