Can anyone date this motorbike?

If you can find someone with the glass book of registration plates, they should be able to give a rough date of when that reg plate was issued.

It's either a BSA or a norton and probably late 1920s

CH was a derby registration plate if that helps

according to this site http://www.cvpg.co.uk/REG.pdf the CH code was used in Nottingham 1903-1930 and Derby until 1974

That location makes a lot of sense Mvann and Brian.

My Mum was from the Winshill/Burton-on-Trent area of Derbyshire/Staffordshire. It gives me a much better idea of where to start looking for these two people. I have often wondered if they were brother and sister.

Thank you for your help.

Trumpy 1924ish?

Very good find indeed Jamjar. I did think some of the Norton's you had posted previously looked similar but the 1924 Triumph looks like a much better fit. Too bad the way they are sitting covers up the back half of it.

Thank you

Can you explain what the "glass book of registration plates" is Mvann? I'm also wondering how to go about looking for it.

Just shows what difference capital letters make?!

It's Glass's Guide.

CH registrations were issued in Derby, between December 1903 and 1931.

Thank you KG - didn't matter what I typed into google, I couldn't get any further than businesses that would fix my windshield

Thanks for the help everyone 

I'm thinking this photo was sent to my Mum in the late 1920's / early 1930's by a childhood friend. For starters I'm guessing the girl - who looks in her mid to late teens is sitting on the bike with either her brother or her boyfriend.

I've got a few small school photos of Mum's childhood friends from Winshill. I'll start another thread to see if anyone thinks there are similarities.

I always use this website for old registration numbers:
http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/registrations/reg-letters.htm

It omits registrations after 1972, so it is very good for older registrations.
