help with old photo - restoring making clearer
« on: Monday 29 March 10 05:47 BST (UK) »
Hi

I want to print a copy of this photo of my dad's old motor bike for his birthday... he is 77 this year.

Many thanks for any help given.

Hi Gayle

One from me

What kind of bike was it?  I cannot read the sign on the front properly.  Do you know what colour it was?

Hi Lones

I think they said it was a bugatti motorcycle. I think it was originally silver and then painted blue, its name is "The Roving Kind", his two brothers had one each too. One of the others was called "Silver King"

I have attached copies of them, had to post them one at a time :-(

Many thanks for your help

Hi Morrie

Sorry you are right...I just spoke to my brother who said it was a Triumph TT100.

regards

Hi Gayle

My Dad had a Triumph, well before my time.  It didn't go by the time I came along, just lent against a tree on our farm. I remember climbing on it as a child, it was black.  I loved that old thing.  I have no idea where it is now...  Lovely memories though.

I hope your Dad likes the pic you give him and that he has a great birthday. 

Let us know if you want a colour version and which colour you would prefer, silver or blue.

Cheers Lones  :)
