Name the bike

[DaveM]

This game is very simple in the way it is played. A photo of a bike is posted and the person to correctly identify this bike will post the next photo. However just to make it a bit more interesting you will also need to post a bit about the bike in the photo your are identifying.

Remember no butting in now if you did not identify the bike it is not your turn

 

[DaveM]

Ok let me start the ball rolling

 

[Ksquared]

My guess - a Triumph Model R "Ricardo" from the period 1921 - 28.

Correct your go

1922 Triumph SD Combination, 550cc

The SD (Spring Drive) was in fact a somewhat modernised version of the famous model H, which had grown out of the “Trusty” veteran Triumph. By the mid-twenties belt drive was losing its appeal to many motorcyclists, so Triumph designed a model with chain secondary drive. The primary chain is protected by a well-engineered aluminium case and runs in an oil bath to minimize maintenance of chain and clutch. The powerful 550 cc engine (bore x stroke =85x97) has lots of torque. The machine is equipped with three speed Sturmey Archer gearbox, 26x3 beaded edge tyres and Bosch magneto. There are a full acetylene lighting set and a rear view mirror board. The stylish sidecar is equipped with a windscreen.

You'll get it, if not in about 15min I'm off to bed, it's almost 2400.



Edit,

Carl, I'll send you a PM with the two answers to the above. Don't open until you answer. I'm off to bed in a couple of minutes.

 

[DaveM]

Ok I would be taking a dip with the Norton but it is almost like that motor does not belong in that bike. So I would have to wait for the answer for this one

 

[Silli]

That is a Nortley Davidton.

 

[keystiger]

I agree Dave.........looks more like an american V-twin but I am at a total loss hhhhmmm can't wait to see the answer.

 

[DaveM]

And on the front end of the other I also have no idea

 

[Silli]

I'm sure that the pic of the 2ls hub is a classic trident......

 

[The Seeker]

That's an (1960's vintage) H-D Sportster 1000 motor and high pipes on the Norton.
