          As I read it the first Pope motorcycle wasn't produced until after the death of founder Colonel Pope around 1910. Here is Colonel Pope's sone Albert Linder Pope.

              Anybody even begin to guess at a balance factor?

              This one's for the Four lovers:

              (Moto Rene Gillet 1910 2600cc 4cyl 16ps Diesel ca 1911)

              Why not five cylinders?

                  Wow - cross country pulling a wagon with a single cylinder 2-cycle on 1915 roads? Can you imagine? A Schickel motorcycle. Norbert Schickel is credited as the inventor of the twist grip throttle. How close did we come to having Wide Open Schickel?

                    Schickel Factory appeared to be based in Stamford, Connecticut.

                        Thanks for the great Schickel pictures, Tom, and Mike; particularly the Schickel factory photo. The sales pics that Tom posted really show how attractive the design was.

                              Thanks to all who have been posting these very enjoyable pics.
                              Perhaps,since I have to scroll down to the bottom of the first page to get to the bar to open last page,viewing every photo on first page everyday, maybe someone could pull the Gilligan and Oswald memes ,unless Im missing some motorcycle reference.

                                From the 'Forums" page, Tom,..

                                I scroll down and click the highlighted thread title (in this case 'vintage pics of the day'):

                                Forum headers.jpg
                                And it seems to take me to the last post page.
                                (If I miss and click your name below it, it takes me to your profile.)
                                If you click first to the Old Photos 'channel', and then 'vintage pics o' the day', it will take you to page one of the 'thread' instead of the last. I think.

                                (If there has been a new thread started in that channel, then you must click the channel, and click the little double arrow at the far right of your thread, with a different appearance. This new format is inconsistant. )


                                Meanwhile, more kiddie fun!

                                PS: I wasn't impressed with the non-motorcycle content either, Tom.... but if you cancel them, we are next.
                                PPS: With 35 pages and growing, please alert me if I post a duplicate, Folks, and I'll replace it quickly!

                                PPPS: I see now the new forum format changes the name of uploads to image1001 or whatever, losing all identification. That ain't right either.
