    Default Bike id?

    Anyone got an idea what bike this is?




    Is the second bike a Jefferson?

    And then there is the idea that we are here on earth to get a certain amount of things done before we die.
    This is a great theory.
    If it is true, I am so far behind that I will never die...

    Hey Sverre!!

    The first bike has Marsh Metz characteristics but I can't say for sure. The second one is definitely a Jefferson!!!! Do you know where that photo was taken?

    Hi Cory, those pics and a few more could be found at sandiegohistory.org. I had not seen any of those before and found both interresting, the first one indeed.

    That group of guys make even the toughest of bikers look like school marms.

    You guys got that right! Makes me want to upchuck every time I hear that the bad boy biker is a post-WWII phenomenon. But as we now know it goes back to the origin of the beast itself (1869 or 1894 depending on how you cut it.)

    I'd also like to know where this photo was taken. The Jefferson is one of my all-time favorites. Note too the sign "Red Devil" which appears to be part of the 3rd bike in line.

    Where's PEM? He would love to see this hot Jefferson!
