Default What bike is this?

This is a picture of my dad in 1954. I would like to know what kind of Harley this is. Anyone know?

Forgive me if its upside down. It was right when I downloaded it. I don't know why it's upside down.

Thanks, Tom

This might help.

I'm thinking Triumph.

Thanks for getting it right side up. Can you believe it's backward now? It was a Harley. I did talk to him about it before he passed away. We just never discussed what model or year.

... tried to improve the photo a little ... didn't do too much good, but a little ...

I think J1mmy got it right ... front end is the same and the exhaust ...

I was about to agree that it wasn't a Harley until I saw J1mmy's post ...

After a few more posts you will be authorised. Just post a few dummies in the test board-- sorry but I forget how many you need-- 6 or 9?
