You're a star. Who are these pratts that decide they can censor our speech???!!! Dam it all, what happened to the right of free speech? If I want to talk about the 1912 JAP engine in my 1912...

Hey guys

Quite honestly, unless I see original advertising showing a 'Winchester' Motorcycle, I think its just someone trying to fake a rare bike, using a Marsh Metz as the base to fake it on.
...

Not 100% ID Frank

But I do believe, especially from the american guard on it that it is for a circa 1913 Dayton. The guard is identical to the poor condition one I have on my Dayton, so if you do...

My point exactly Cory; even Wyatt thought this fake might have an original frame from an Indian. This shows the danger of these fakers, they stick an original name on their modern con copy, and...

I know I wont be popular for saying this, but personally, I feel the best tribute that could be made to the original motorcycles and manufacturers like Indian, Excelsior, Henderson, Cyclone etc -...

I agree with Cory, nice tank, but heavily inflated on price I think from the 'racing' word attached to it. Still, eventually someone either pays the dosh or the price reduces until it finds the...

Sorry, mixed up my pics. The last one was a 1916 PP. This one is the 1914 Hedstrom with the 3 speed.6460

Hope the attachment works okay, because here is a pic of a 1914 with a 3 speed, so yes they had them then, maybe at the end of 1914, or the last of the 14 motors being used in bikes at the start of...

You're right, believe my '17 has a rib behind the neck bracing, stiffening up the whole head stock region! Sorry, missed that before. Must be the earlier version of the 3 speed.

Well, I'm not saying what it definitely is, and I'm not saying what it definitely isn't either, these Indian frames, once the transmission is decided, all other parts are pretty similar. But what I...

Well Rusty

I could be wrong, but after poring over your pics a few times and comparing what you have, with what I have and what I know of the early Powerplus, and while the engine may be a 1914,...

Good site Greg

Thanks for sharing it here, gives us another option for parts.

Waiting for pictures to admire...

May more of these thieves be caught and burned.

Will keep an eye out for it in case they turn up in other parts of the world like Europe. Seems we need to establish a posse to deal out the law these days as the so called law in the UK has become...

Seriously Ken

I've had another close look at this bike pic you put on here and I would like as good a copy of it. Reason being, seriously, this is identical to what I have, awaiting retoration at...

Well, Like I said Louie, its a great little invention, but its a toy. If what you've made is compared to a Pierce, I may as well claim that my BSA is a Cyclone. It is what it is, a great invention, a...

Congrats on your invention... but I have to ask the question especially of the other guys on this thread, do you really think a 2010 invention belongs in a strictly over 30 years old club...

I'll see if I can get a copy of it... all my pics are on the missus' computer and its not easy to interupt her in midstream 'Dangerous Housewives'... or whatever its called. Can you tell me the best...

Hi Ken

Its difficult to be sure, but if it is not a special made with an early *** engine, then it looks like a Royal Enfield. I say this because I have a 1912 Royal Enfiel with a *** engine and...

I used 130 octane avgas in my 1929 770cc v-twin BSA back when New Zealand changed over to the new **** unleaded. Bike ran like a dream with more power and sheer grunt than ever before. As long as...

Perhaps you could try some avgas in it. Aviation fuel has a much higher octane rating and as such, tends to run a little cooler from my experience and will give you plenty of extra power during...

Maybe the upside down carb is an early turbo attempt? :)

Cory.... I'm jealous.... I've only ever dreamed of finding a bike like this one so complete and requiring so little work to get it on the road...
If you are not into sidecars... keep me in mind. I...

Hi Ken

Would just like to say thanks for the links to those sites, they proved to be invaluable with pages not easily or often seen. I have some pics now of a Dayton transmission I saw at Wheels...
