Default Need use of an SV - Bristol

This is a bit of an odd question and I hope this is the correct forum. If not, I'm sure a mod will move it

I have an old picture of my Dad on his motorcycle at what appears to be Lindsay Rd, Bristol. I would like to reproduce the picture at the same location with me sitting on a motorcycle. I ride an SV650 but I currently live in the US. I will be heading back to England for a short vacation next week.

So I was wondering if someone would be able to drop by and let me sit on their motorcycle for a couple of minutes to get the picture. I'll be in Bristol on the 22nd and 23rd of August. I'll compensate for petrol used, of course. I'd prefer 2nd gen, blue and naked but it's not really that important.

Here's the picture for reference...

Hope the area has not been redeveloped. Think you will find the streets chock a blok with cars these days.
Good luck though.

I know the area has not been redeveloped though there's a lot of porches and conservatories that didn't used to be there. Cars may be an issue but if it's in the day, it may not be too bad.

That looks like a Villiers engined Francis Barnett that your dad was sitting on.

That'd be around this area of the road then? I can't think of anywhere else in the street that a street sign would have been put on a house front with the road sloping away to the left. The orientation of the four houses behind your father seems to be correct as well, and the wall out front appears to be unchanged.
