itti olly Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) HiPlease can anyone help. I am trying to identify the bike in the photo.It was ridden by G Naylor during a trial held somewhere in the Yorkshire Dales during the 1950s.The exhaust looks quite distinctive but as a non motorcycle person I am struggling. My Dad (The dashing young cove in the photo) is 85 next week and we are trying to arrange a surprise for the big day.Any help appreciated.Thank you Edited January 23, 2013 by itti olly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
