Yesterdaze motorcycle girls, I love them. I bet these tomboy motorcycle riding girls back in the early days of motorcycling where tough and didnt care what people said regarding their "unfemale" clothes and behaviour.
Maria is pictured while redy to take of on D-292 wich I believe is a 1917 Harley 61" (1000cc). The headlamp is caracteristic for this early model. Pic is taken in 1918 and most girls didnt use mens pants these days, Maria did tough!

Notice the tire pump clipped onto the front downtube of the frame, those didnt stay on very long hence the bike is pretty new still in this picture.

As is my grandson now share house with me and since I dont have a telly we need to get ourselves engaged by some other activities.
Hey, why not get going with the Super-X, lets tear it apart and have fun.




Its amazing what you can do with a decent cutting plier, and as most old Norwegian bikes this is full of steel wire repairs to be cut loose.

Came across this quality image showing Bredo Feiring and his late teens/early twenties Harley 61" (1000cc). The oilpump is included in the engine timing cover on these early models Harleys. This was later changed to a cover where the oilpump acted as a separate part.
Bredo and his Harley operated in the Hedmark region.
The Harley is a magneto model whit full acetylene light equipment by Harley Davidson.

Bredo wear a stylish motorcycle riding coat, leather gloves, riding cap and a pair of riding googles. Looking at his riding gear I doubt this guy is the average farmer.

This is a cool photo where there is a lot of joy envolved. Two younger chaps fighting for the pillion pad, owner of this late teens 61" Harley (1000 cc) sure looks cool well dressed as he is, well polished shoes, sweather, tie and riding cap.

Thoughts

Having spent the last week bedside at the hospital with my seriously ill grand daughter at age 7 you realise there is more to life than American made Motorcycles. There is sure time to think when there is nothing you can do what ever skills you have in restoring ol iron, time to think on what is important in life after all and whats not.

Made me remember this old chap at Davenport last year selling off to get a surgery for his seriously ill grand child, realising he could live without his motorbikes.

I don`t have to sell off any, but I sure would have done too if it would make the difference.

Just my thoughts for this post.
