Just came across this photograph today. I thought it was kind of neat. Post card was post marked 1910 so I figure the bike might be 1910 too. Says Yale on the tank.
Looking at it the bike has a speedometer, plus shields on the front fork and rear fender plus a luggage rack so maybe it is an earlier Yale. Looks like a tire pump under his leg. Most likely taken near Viroqua, Wis. and mailed to Inverness, Montana.The hills in the background sure like like it was taken near Viroqua. I couldn't locate a Yale registered in Viroqua in the Wisconsin 1912 motorcycle registrations.
