Looks like a Zenith front fork.

Pretty certain those are Druid girder forks fitted to this Brit sidecar combination.

tank and engine look similar to this 1923 Hudson motorcycle.

I agree Ralph, but '26 or '27 New Hudsons had the tank's side-mount shifter as per the original photo. These were available as 350 or 500cc machines - but as the pic shows the young lady astride a bike bolted to a sidecar, it's probably safe to assume it's a 500. Stunning bike. On this particular model pictured, the brick under the front wheel was an optional extra.

Stunning for sure! I think you got the right one here Pete.

Old BSA Motorcycle on FB NVTEC. Anyone know what it is an when made. Looks small motorcycle 100cc? Going on their main page to pictures did not see as some much there to find. I searched using BSA and also just Motorcycle and it finds nothing.

Looks to me like a late '60s BSA Victor Special. Larger capacity (441cc) than the 100cc you suspected.

I guess I was looking at the seat, sort of short like a mini bike seat, short. The cylinder must be wide diameter. There is so much space around the cylinder to the frame. Would hope counter balance weights for the single cylinder.
