Help in Identifying the make and model of a motorcycle
« on: Monday 21 January 13 22:14 GMT (UK) »
Would anyone be able to identify the make of motorcycle in the attached photo. It was taken around 1960. It was my dad's who unfortunatly had a nasty accident on it not long after the photo was taken. Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Happy to have helped. It took me back to my mis-spent youth.
