Ed Roth?
Tom

As Badger34 mentioned

Yes that's Ed Roth on the Candy Wagon trike and the other trike in the foreground is the AEE Corvair trike, web search shows they both still exist.

I was a big fan of Big Daddy Roth though I only bought one shirt "Wild Child" and still have someplace membership card to the Rat Fink fan club.

The Coke delivery vehicle is a 1930 VL, probably a VC commercial outfit with a variant of the package truck body. These were used for delivery work until the Servicar came out in 1932. The VC had iron pistons, low compression heads, a one inch carburetor with manifold and cylinder inlets to match, and low lift cams to further strangle performance.

Italian cycle dealer and one time speed record holder Gino Cavanna. I didn't search for all details but one Vincent site says it is a Vincent engine in a Motto Guzzi V8 frame. Here is a modern photo of the bike without fairing.

Love the horns on the helmet but what would happen if he ever laid it down.

Jerry - that is a good question with a fairing like that I guess you have to ride it out?

Let me paraphrase (but I'll put it in a quote box for emphasis) what the original poster said about this image on the AMCA Facebook page. Thanks to member Tom Finn for sharing. Basically the OP was looking for details about this prototype that never moved forward.

Does anyone have more info about this four cylinder on the photo found in the National Archives? Caption mentions a "Military Ordinance Motorcycle" Was in experimental stages when armistice [assuming WW II] was signed. Samples built by Military Corporation Jersey City, NJ.

I'd be interested in more info as well. Final drive and frame are interesting.

It resembles the Militor from this video. I understand that Militor Corporation went through an number of Branding or name changes. https://youtu.be/tVdzVUx8Dow

I believe it is a Militor in origin but there are some deviations from stock. Probably due to military specifications for the WW1. This Militor looks like the later configuration and the Rogers sidecar is probably later teens. My guess is this was built in late 1917 into 1918. Sadly, Militor was done by 1920.

Found out yesterday that Mischler's Harley-Davidson and BMW of Beaver Dam, Wis. will be closing forever on Dec. 23 after 62 years as a Harley dealer. I first went there in 1968 or 69 to get my brother's 1952 K Model repaired. Bad second gear, which was common, and they would have to split the cases. They wouldn't do it and told us to buy another bike. Here are some photos of the Trapp Brother's Dealership that preceded Mischler's.
