*Ironically, Uncle Henry checking~out one of the first Brothers Henderson*(1912) Motorcycle. Also, Henry paid retail, the brothers didn't reduce the cost. Probably, because the handwriting was already written on the wall.

ONE TON. PULLING ONE TON. I wonder what part of the motorcycle gave out first...[/QUOTE]
Good question Steve.
**M.E. Gale towed a ‘Prairie Schooner’ across the USA with his family in 1915. [Schickel family archive]
An interesting publicity stunt was undertaken by M.E. Gale in June of 1915, in which a ‘Big Six’ chain-drive 6hp 2-speed model was attached to a ‘prairie schooner’ covered wagon (with motorcycle wheels replacing the original wooden spoke items).
**Gale set off with his family in tow from Stamford CT to San Francisco, with an expected travel time of 100 days. His two sons rode a Lightweight model with a twin saddle (side by side!). Gale was a professional rider who made his living performing endurance stunts for advertising campaigns. Whether he made it or not isn’t mentioned!

in this day and age, we really don't have an opportunity for a variety of reasons to do cool stuff like Mr. Gale and family did.Steve Swan
