Nice model but half is obscured by old school mysogyny ;)
Never tell people your troubles. Half of them are not interested and the other half are glad you're getting what's coming to you.

I knew I recognized her from a time before I knew about BSAs (or maybe before I was old enough to drive). Google "Betty Page Motorcycle". Better yet, have your wife do it for you (Google, that is.)

Assuming you haven't just used the B+W option on your camera or photo-shopped it that must have been an extraordinarily daring swim suit for back in the day.

Yep that's exactly what the wife said, cb. 56-57 but looks to have a few miles under her.

Old photo of my granduncle's shop. Late teens, early twenties?

 The name Betty Page sounded familiar when I saw a local burlesque performer named Bertie Page  a few years ago (4 or 5), and was surprised when a mate recently introduced her to me, and she said "I've seen you around".... *eek*

 Nice pic.
