Very cool! Could that be the same large tree in both pictures?

I think it might actually be the same tree, looking at the placing of branches etc.

Can anybody ID the motorcycle parked beside the Telegraph building?

Barely visible in that first photo is the so-called "money spur" that ran from Wellington to behind the TTC's then-headquarters at Yonge and Front.

Tnx Goldie but not much help to me. I still vote British but there were many back in the glory days. If I had a gun to my head I'd vote Triumph.
