I would be interested to see if anyone can clean this up. 

I carried it around in my wallet for several years and just recently scanned it in. As you might have guessed it is me on my first motorcycle, a 650 BSA. I got it used the summer of 1966. Also got run over by a gal trying to beat the VW behind me across the street later that summer. That was the end of that bike. In a couple of months I bought a used 650 BSA super rocket. I have a picture of it in my gallery.

I have tried, but am not very experienced at PhotoShop. I have elements 5. 

Thanks

Not sure  this is much better.  There may be someone here that can do better but this is beyond my skills.

hello Jeditojan,

your pic is a nice challenge, but we really need a better scan to restore it to its orginal state...

;o) thanks Fred !
i think i could do better with a better original lolllll

;o)

Thanks Olivier; I will see if I can do a better scan. I think I have gotten a new scanner since I scanned this. 

Or do you mean a bigger file that should be a link instead of a picture that fits the size limits on a forum?

not realy, just a beter scan with more dpi (300dpi) and may be +-2000 x +-3000pix...

but i'm not house for the moment, i'm in holiday near Genève, so i can't work on the pic right now... But you can send it to the forum or to my email address o DOT delvigne AT gmail DOT com
see ya ;o)

Yeah, can't do much with an image that size...best I could do but it makes it look like a painting. Pretty big job with the clone tool to remove all of those nicks and scratches, but a good challengne and good entry. David, your turn to do the next one, you can start it next week if you like.
