more like 1940’s-1950’s
This is a AJS K7, 350 ccm OHC(not only OHV!!!) from 1928. At that time the really wild thing. Note the flat tank, inverse levers and gas/air levers – still not the twist gas grips. Note also the gas head light. Photo is most likely end 1920ies/early 1930ies. I keep my fingers crossed that you still have this motorcycle. 🤞🏼

My mother was born in Mayfield, Newcastle in 1929. Her father worked making wire in a steelmill. I have a strong affection for this lovely town.

Were bald tires common back then?

now THIS is Old school Cool
Yep and a deadly animal just out of the shot waiting to attack. Makes it even cooler.
Finally a really old school cool pic!
Nice looking man on a nice looking bike but the license plate position is in such a bad place it could split somebody’s face open if they go forward.
This looks nice. I really like the style of houses in Australia at the time.
Looks like Jan Michael Vincent and Lou Gehrig’s cousin/brother/grandfather or something.
