  4. Tanyan yahi,
    Put the photo in your My Pictures file(right click-"save picture as") on your PC and hit "upload a file" tab next to the post reply tab. Depending how your computer is set up you might have to look for the my pictures file or it will pop up automatically. Click the picture and once down loaded click full size and post. This or find a kid to help, that's what I did.:)

  5. Yes I would like to see the picture also. I hope he can post it up. Maybe someone with a little better computer skills could explain it better than I did.

    In this picture, Number Nine is on a different bike, OHV Knucklehead engine, also ended production in 1947. He probably rode two classes. The flathead in the other pictures was probably a 45 CI.

    the way the exhaust port on the front cylinder is shaped makes me think it's a 45...

    45 rear chain on the right. Big twins on the left. The Knuckle is a '40, has "football" tank emblem with no side trim. The 45 tank is at least a '41 because it has the trim. The tanks seems narrower indicating a factory racer a model WR or WRLD.
    The back window of the coupe looks like a 46-8 Ford. Maybe you could ask the guys to move over so we could see more.

    Nice pictures. Numbers 2 & 15 look like Indians, and all four bikes in that heat are flatties. If you got more pics, lets see them!

    Notice the man in coveralls and a sailors hat. This could be during the War or shortly after.
