Great information PEM. I never would have identified the Jefferson, even with it's amazing handlebars. These pictures are from the pinnacle of American boardtrack racing which was well documented by Don Emde in his book, 'The Speed Kings'. However, I haven't seen a picture of the most popular, and well known rider of that era; Jake De Rosier. Thanks again to everyone that takes the time, and makes the effort to post pictures for our enjoyment.

CeDora traveled all over North America throughout the teens, her show not making across the Atlantic due to World War I. Thrill shows like the Globe of Death, Whirl of Death, Silodromes, and later the Wall of Death became a staple of the American carnival culture and still to this day audacious men and women alike risk their own health and safety to delight crowds across the country with their spectacular, death-defying shows.
CeDora was most likely the first of her kind and was certainly a pioneer in American motorcycle culture. Here she poses for a snapshot in early 1917 onboard her prized Indian “Globe” machine, the same machine she rode her entire career. It should be noted that in the world of rare early Indian one-offs and unique modified motorcycles, CeDora’s bike, though it has been restored is one of the few that is accounted for and can be seen if searched for on the web.
