    I have just reread the first half of Rivivals Of The Trail. This is the 1913 edition with the motorcycle on the cover. motorcycles are in it.

    The first one in the series just says on the front cover "The Motor Boys", then on a sign post on the cover it says "Motor Boys Series" and on the bottom of the cover is "Clarence Young. Subtitle I believe is "Chums Through Thick and Thin". Copyright is 1906 by Cupples & leon Company. Illustration of an automobile on the cover with three young men and the driver is wearing googles. On the contents page chapter XVI. is "Plans for a Motor-Cycle Race.

    Hope this helps.
