... Following on from this post showing my Mum, a little digging in her flat produced another couple of bike related relative pictures.

Pic. 1 is my Mum again, with her sister & Father with the family transport, believed to be sometime around 1932.

Can anyone tell me what the bike is, I haven't a clue

I stuck this picture up on another Classic forum where someone identified it as a Levis. After checking out the range of M/Cs it looks like it might be a 1914-ish Levis Popular a 211cc two stroke. Nice picture

DT was issued in Doncaster in April 1927 and WRS again by West Riding (Yorks) in 1912.

... for your responses, particularly Andy for the first ID The family comes from Doncaster so the reg makes sense. Interesting note on the back of the combo pic from my Mum "The only motorised transport in Wiltshire Road (Doncaster), the neighbours all come out to see us leave, and push"
