Any vintage motorcycle experts out there who can help ?
This was taken in about 1928 !!

     Not sure the identity of the passenger and child needed photoshopping out - reasonably confident if that was 1928 they would t be around now (or possibly care)

    Hmmmm.   I suspect the child's face has been photoshopped in...

    Looks very odd...

    @MouldyOldDough might want to remove it before other people look

    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    It looks like a AJS 350cc K6.
    The K6 had an OHV pushrod engine and you can see that in the image.

    The other notable and similar looking AJS of the time was the K7, but that had an OHC engine with a big case timing chest cover on the side.

    Both children's faces are still black and white.  Its a colourised photo.
