Bike!

Now that takes some cojones my friends.....looks like a triumph but not enough of it visible to tell, I'm looking at the engine case on the right side, the gaiters and general shape....could be a BSA though, Norton or one of those....

Hard to tell from that angle...

The forks say "triumph" but it very well could be a BSA...

I'll say Triumph Speed Twin, but I'm probably wrong...

Looks like a Norton front end and front wheel. But a better angle would be nice...

Actually, on closer inspection, I don't think that bike is British. CB maybe?

..... looks like left side gear change so I agree maybe not British - could be early CB?

The shaping of the tank and the pin-striping might suggest Norton but it's really hard to tell from that angle. The forks look like and older Triumph...

I dunno...
