Where do you think this guy is? I can't place that architecture. And check out the bricks on the edge of the street. Really interesting.

Based on the license plate, I'm guessing Canada.

Oh yah... good eyes... didn't make out the ONT until you wrote Canada.

Here is a vintage plate from Ontario, in detail.

This mystery is unraveling.

I like the ancient tail pipe extension-diffuser? Right out of the fifties,turned 90 degrees.

So that bike had to make it from England to Ontario, right? I know they brought some into the U.S. and threw the Indian badge on, but not back then, and not that model, right? Where is Columbo when you need him?

Is that Snidey?

The license plate looks to be Ont. 1950? If that's the case this lad would be about 78 years old today.

He'll have bright red racing stripes on those knees if he's not careful!

Is that a knife in his right sock? I used to tuck a sheath knife in my boot (in the sheath) 'till I put a really good edge on it and slid it into the sheath, THROUGH the sheath, and about an inch into my calf...
