Dad's 1st motorbike - Can you fix it please?

[Lesanne]

           Dad trying out his bike, under the watchful eye of nan and grandad.

           Is it possible to lose the red splodge
                                    and the crack in the photo please?

            You guy's are brilliant at this, I hope it's not to detailed.

                                                 Lesanne.

One effort for what its worth - I've guessed its was a BSA, the badge looks right.

[Lesanne]

   That certainly looks much better. Thank you.

    How the heck do I get it into / off of here.   Lesanne

unfortunately I cannot proceed any further
my programme as thrown a "wobbly". If
I get it running again, I'll have another go.

  Hey guys, thanks for your sterling efforts.
                       One will be sent to my bruv, who wishes
                                               this bike was still in the family.

Used a bit of Turtlewax this time,

             Nice one, Tomkin. 
                     Thanks for your trouble, it looks good.
