Can anyone date this motorbike?

[sami]

My mother had a photo of a young couple on a motorbike. I've been trying to figure out who they are but I'm not sure if the photo was taken in England or Canada.

Can anyone date the photo or determine where the photo was taken by the registration number?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lovely pic...

Looks like "Chittybangbang" era   

I think I know of someone with (or who had) an interest in "motorbikes" if I can borrow & repost pic?

Could it be a Norton?

Hi Jamjar:

Some of those photos in the link you posted certainly look similar. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.

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

Trumpy 1924ish?

Looks identical, now Sami will know where it is, may be worth a bid
