Speed Demon
This is a photo of my father, William B. Charlton astride a motorcycle of unknown make. I note that this one has a hand shifter beside the fuel tank. It was taken at the "Barriefield Barracks" which I understand is now CFB Kingston. The fuel tank has "C.O.C.T.C" hand written in white paint and there is an inscription on the album page indicating that this was during the "Motorcycle Course". The photo has "Speed demon Charlton and his trusty steed, July 1943" written in his hand on the back.
COCTC on the fuel tank stands for Canadian Ordnance Corp Training Centre.
These bikes appear to be Harley Davidson 43WLCs:
