An Awkward Hill - Vintage and classic motorcycle

A steep old hill for a veteran and no doubt, the postcard claims it is however a genuine image. I'd have a guess at the bike being a Rover c1914 fitted with an Armstrong hub gear. Here's the text from the card:

front side:
642 Motor Cycling in Lakeland
"An awkward hill"
(Abraham's Series)

on rear:
This card is an actual photograph by G. P. Abraham, Ltd.

The card was posted in 1924.

Veteran Rover making an impressive climb.
postscript: I've heard from Pete of Occhio Lungo that he reckons the bike is a Premier. Rover was an educated guess on my part so I'm happy to go with a positive identification on Premier. Thanks for the contact Pete.
