Better shot of it
You'd be surprised how many riders run wide on left handers.

With regards to having chicken strips on the left side of your rear tyre simply find a deserted roundabout on a quiet industrial estate one evening and circle it the wrong way.
Or... just use a sanding pad in a cordless drill :)

Looks Honda to me. I think it might be a bit shopped, Janis pegged it in 1970 and that’s an eighties design. Unless she’s living in Pudsey with Jim Morrison , Elvis and the Big Bopper.
Doesnt Tupac still deliver the takeaways too round there?

Looks like a pre-unit Triton to me. No idea what it says on the tank though.

Looks like it'd be a good ride, atbnbe :-)

Deffo a featherbed frame and what I can see of the engine does look like Triumph.

I'm surprised they haven't fitted a bigger front drum though. And what's going on with the rear drum, or lack thereof?
On the road:
