The original biker babe :)
« on: Monday 16 April 07 18:31 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

Is anyone able to give this a clean up please & maybe bring out some of the detail?

This is Harriet Winter, my Great Grandmother having fun with her daughter.  Probably taken around 1920 ish in South London.

Many thanks,

Debbie  Smiley
Sorry!  Should of mentioned, it's a scan from an album which has been emailed to me, so I don't have access to the original.

Great pic - the bike is most likely a Norton - based on the tank colours and styling.

That's much better!!!  Thank you.  I'm sorry about the quality, I've about 50 pics all scanned from an album, but this one is my favourite.

I see what you mean about the driver Poll...I have other photo's of this lady & she does look differnet so yes, she possible did have Goggles on.  I can see behind her someone who may have been the original rider...wonder if they cheekily asked if they could have a go?  Smiley Smiley Smiley

A Norton huh?  Thanks Newfy

& Thank you to Woodentop too..I now have a much clearer pic to print out.

I hope you all have a good day,

Many thanks to you all.
