My Mum gave me a photo on Christmas Day. It shows my late Grandad, aged 20, sat on his bike outside my Grandma's house when they were courting. I've never seen it before, in fact I never even knew he rode a bike. I love it, just thought I'd share it on here. I have no idea what the bike is by the way - the photo was taken in 1932 and anything older than an H1 is a complete mystery to me...

great pic Tim!
looks like a side-valve BSA, haven't a clue which model though. They were just a bit before my time! |

With a make and reg number, have you been on the DVLA website to see if it's still around...? _________________ Light is right. |

Nothing on the DVLA but found this info of another site I asked a few questions on
''AFD 664 issued by Dudley County Council October 1935 to July 1936''
Have you any more info Tim, looks like a PO delivery bike and also someone suggested it came fitted with a sidecar, looks about right when you look at the front tyre. |

Ta. Not really looked into it further yet, but did send the pic to Jim at Classic Bike for their back page. Hoping he writes back with some more details. |
