Cool stuff Barry,
You gotta come out West and visit the SFMC, where we have a bunch of 4 footers. We just re-inacted one from a 1914 outing on Pismo Beach with the Pismo Club (who are still in existance also). We had 1000 people on the beach for another 4 footer, just a few weeks ago!!!!!!!!!! I think we may even have a 6 footer. I'll have to measure it on Thursday, as we hold meetings open to the public every Thursday.
We gotta real live V-Twin Curtiss in captivity also. Hell, I'll even buy you a drink!
Yers, RF.

sounds great Fred. Maybe I'll ride my 27 Hen out there in next years Cannonball

[Red Fred]

why wait until then? You could ride it out now, and fly home. I'll tend to it here for ya, and you'll always have a bike on the left Coast! Frees up some storage on your end too! Honest! Think about it. It's what I do. Saves a lot of time in your travels also. We call it the fly & ride program.
Then you could see all the neat stuff we have in the SFMC clubhouse, not to mention all the wierdos that end up in SF here (from all parts East of us).

that is a great idea Fred. The only stumbling block is that I have been waiting a few years now for the Hen mains to be line bored. maybe another bike would be better. what is the "ideal California bike" ?
if there is such a thing. the vision that always springs to my brain is that twisty highway along the coast, maybe one of my cammy Nortons would be a good candidate, do you allow Limeys on the Indian reservation?

barry what is the bike with sideways crank case in the photo above?

[Barry Brown]

the picture shows both professional and the amateurs. I believe the bike you are referring to next to the Cyclone is a two stroke Cleveland but I could be wrong as the lettering is illegible. There are 2 of these shown in between the two stroke Indians and Excelsiors.

[sveger]

Its a Cleveland indeed, tough I wonder whatever a guy trying to compete in racing with a Cleveland was up to? I know them as some really slow little machines with some odd engineering inside the engine to get the power from the cranck to the gearbox. As Cleveland started with motorbikes in 1915 I would rather think the photo is from 16 or 17?

Being as you have no commas and decimal points in your price, is it a great price of $15.00, a fair price of $150.00 or a ripoff of $1,500.00?

Thanks Chris, I thought I was the only one.....
