The reflection in the fuel tank looks a bit like Barry so I am going with
Taken in Winnipeg in August, possibly the 9th or 10th 1961

Was just discussing this bike last week. It left the factory with approximately 100 miles. Was ridden a few times up until 1955. Next time it was out was a trip to Gimli Raceway sometime around 1978 and had another 10 miles put on it, so at the time of the photo it would have been under 200.

Two choke levers instead of a PR17? Not a quibble, just the only thing not standard-ish for a road-going twin. The bike is gorgeous!
