Off the top of me 'ead, I would say either a Frances Barnett or James, but then again the Painkillers could be making me halucinate

Looks like a BSA 500 to me. Like the type the army used.

I like a good old fashioned hunt!

the exhaust did remind me of an old BSA my dad had when I was little.

Hi all,
thanks for the input, erm no i cant quite see an exact match, im going to give the DVLA a call and see if that registration is any help.
It would be great if its still about but thats a bit unlikely.
I only discovered this pic of dad (my sister had it) last weekend so in itself its great to have

cheers

I think that it is a triumph tiger 90. Its not an early girder fork model, but could be a 1939 model. If you could see more of that crank case, that would be useful!!

It could help, My granddad has a collection of classic bikes, If i cant figure out what it is, then i am sure that he could.

Hi Moto

Am pretty sure that it is an early 1950's BSA C11. A 250 single. A popular commuter bike of its day i have been told by my grandad.
