I know I've asked this before but I've lost the answer.
Anyone an idea what this bike is?

Triumph, probably Model H but a late one. About 1918? Giveaway (apart from the tank logo!) is the front fork spring facing forward.

Looks like it. (Renovated model, hence the multi-section V-belt)

Well it doesn't show up on the DVLA registration check !!}------- https://www.gov.uk/get-vehicle-information-from-dvla

------- but Papasmurf's one does...I thought that they were Tax exempt ??------ Yes, I remember now---no cash to pay but you still have to go through the paper routine..

I see that MO 6776 has gone "Up-market" and has a Brammer Link Belt fitted ( http://www.brammer.co.uk/belt-drives.htm )...If that B&W photo is circa 1918 then those young lads have just survived The Great War !!......I wonder what became of them all ???

Thanks all 😀

A pretty tough looking mob of blokes. From the flowers they look like they are at a wedding or a funeral.

It's a local picture, our local historian knows who and where but not what the bike was.
