Here's another picture of Floyd Emde on an Indian at a hillclimb in Oceanside, CA just a few weeks before he won the 1948 Daytona 200

Sorry, but that isn't an Indian.....

Sorry, but that isn't an Indian.....

Well, I can't argue that! I guess that's what I get for blindly copying the text of a picture without stopping to actually look at the image!

OK, I feel pretty confident this hillclimber is an Indian...

My copy of #2176 says "Sam Arena", Folks!

And this one says "Hank Reiman".

...not hill climbers, just a gathering of Douglas girls for Steve

Sorry, but that isn't an Indian.....

And I think it is not Floyd Emde either. I believe it is Hank Reiman

Thanks Pisten Bully and more trivia coming on picture 2181 with the Douglas ladies. HW registrations were issued in Bristol, where the Douglas bikes were made, from July 1927-July 1930. DF plates came from Gloucestershire, the next county, and were issued June 1926-April 1930, and the PX plate is West Suffolk, a county or so further east, and issued April 1923-April 1929. So I'm guessing these delightful ladies got together for a run around 1928. The fun they must have had!

(The exposed flywheel made me think it was a Douglas, but it is a great pic anyway.)
