The bike is a Triumph 3SW, best guess is that the photo was taken early post-war and that the bike is an army surplus machine. The tractor looks like a Ferguson TE20 and they came out 1946.Triumph 3SW and Ferguson TE20.Postscript:...

Veteran Rover motorcycles - Vintage and classic motorcycle

At first I thought this pair of machines were both Triumphs just from a quick look at the petrol tanks. A more in depth examination however reveals magnetos situated aft of the engines and Druid type forks rather than the rocking Triumph type with horizontal spring. My best guess is that they are Rovers....
