Help needed to identify vintage m/bike
« on: February 25, 2013, 02:16:38 PM »
Hi to you all, I recently obtained a picture of my Grandfather on his motorbike, I think it was taken in about 1926, any ideas?

Thanks, the other picture was my Father, even though the number plates are the same I didn't realise it at the time!

The New Hudson is from the "flat tank" era, when the petrol tank fitted under the top bar rather than straddling it. It would be a c1926 model. It's a side valve motor (there were sporty overhead valve jobs too), and possibly 350cc. Lovely bike.
