Default 1908 Motorcycle

I would dearly love to find a photo also. What I have discovered is that Sgt Northover of the 90th (Winnipeg) {Note - not 80th} had former service in the British Army before coming to Canada. I Canada he joined the Cdn Ordnance Corps prior to joining the 90th - now the Royal Winnipeg Rifles.
Northover was an early volunteer for the First World War and was well into his 30s. He survived the war, came out as a Captain and had been awarded the Military Cross.
I am looking for information on the Simplex ServicCycle in the WWII Canadian Army also. All data will be used in an upcoming book on motorcycles in the Canadian Army.
