I didn't think anyone was that grubby in 1965, Mike!

Back to prim and correct...

Boy Cotten. I am not so sure how prim and correct a Harley Hydra-Glide fender is on an Indian Girder. Nice looking girl though!

'Bout time somebody noticed, Jerry!

This rider was a WWII aircraft mechanic at Wright- Patterson AFB in Ohio and bought this Ariel single cylinder 250 cc from an Air Force Colonel thought brought it back from England in the fuselage of a B17 bomber.

Vintage Pic of the Day - March 10, 2021

Sometimes I find I need to get creative to find the vintage pics. Today I used a web based random number generator and set it for numbers 1 - 50 with the intent that I would look for an old motorcycle photo from what ever number came up. Today's number was 30 so I looked for old motorcycle photos from the 30th state. Well here you go, a rider from Wisconsin having his breakfast next to his trusty and reliable Sportster. The rider on the Bavarian Motor Works bike looks like he's from Columbus. So maybe we have a Mid-west gathering pictured.

Did anyone else notice the WWI German pickelhaube helmet laying on the ground? That's probably worth more (now) than the Sportster!

Is it the Alps, Andes, Himalayans? Nope, the mountains in the photo of rider and Thor motorcycle are from my random state of the day, Utah. Utah the 45th state came up in my random number generator today and those are the Wasatch Mountains outside of Salt Lake City. The writer using this photo indicated it was his Grandfather and he believed it to be a 1911 Thor IV.

I did notice the helmet. I wonder if it is authentic?
