Can anyone identify the bike in this picture of my Dad,believed to have been taken about 1930.note the carbide lighting.

Had hoped that Kiwi Biker was a site for real motorcycle enthusiasts,and that I would get some sensible replies,not just a load of crap from teenyboppers who wouldnt know a real motorbike if they fell over it.

If you guys can't give a sensible answer sometimes, why don't you just fuck off and leave the thread alone - that or we'll start deleting shit!

Oi - you're OK - you could well be .....just attempting to make the point that sometimes people actually want some relevant information, not facetious crap - they have enough opportunity for that on multitudinous other threads....

I couldnt even tell what sort of engine it had - let alone the make...good spotting, if you're right.

I'm afraid I can't help with the bike ID, but reckon any one of the graphic design guys/gals on here might be able to sharpen it up a bit for you (and us).

It'll certainly help ID the bike, and also give you a good copy of what I suspect is a very valuable picture.

Cool pic, wish I could help more.
