Rockdoc Posted 15 November , 2010 Share Posted 15 November , 2010 anyone ID Motor cycle & date With the external "bacon slicer" flywheel, the bike is almost certainly a Douglas. The company made many motorcycles for service use during WW1 - Wiki says 70,000 - but I don't know enough about the marque to be able to date the photo. The external flywheel was a long-standing feature and lasted while they made the fore-and-aft twin engines, AFAIK. My Dad had an old one in the 1940s and he said that the back pot ran very hot. Note the very broad tail to the front mudguard to protect the front cylinder-head. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
