Here’s a little gem I saw at the American History museum in Washington DC.

That's about a 2800 mile motorcycle ride from your end of the country!

 

^^^^^^^No better way to travel when you are young. Easy on gas, sleeping on the grass under the stars. Is that trans leaking?

That is not a Maltese Cross.

That is a Swastika, most recently used as the icon of the Nazis.

Almost all of my ancestors were brutally murdered under that symbol.

 

Yeah, you need to read MINE more carefully.

This is unacceptable.

 

Saw this one today - from the December1937 popular mechanics.

 

I don't have any history all I know is it is an old drag race Triumph

 

Looks like a real ball buster.

Well here's a pic of my project as it arrived . It's starting to look better but it's still in progress. It's a '51 Indian Dispatch Tow. It has '51 Studebaker Champion rear brakes and what seem to be off-the-shelf rear rims - 16x4 5 on 5.5 - much like, but not quite the same as, 1940's Ford rims. Any other ideas on the rims?

And more importantly, my favorite girlfriend:

RIP Dale. You left a great legacy for the Motorcycle world as an historian. To Quote Jim Morrison “Did you have a good world when you died, enough to base a movie on?”
“What’s in the Barn” is a great indicator that you did.
