Hi T. Cotten his name is Stanisław Hołuj. The photo was taken after the Kraków Motorcycle Club Rally. He won first place - 1929 year.
This is a short story from Wikipedia. I used ChatGPT for translation
Stanisław Hołuj (born April 5, 1899, in Myślenice, died June 29, 1940, in Krzesławice) was a Polish racing car and motorcycle driver, as well as a speedway rider.
Biography:
Hołuj was born on April 5, 1899, as the son of Jan and Maria. At the age of 15, he joined the First Cadre Company, which later became the nucleus of the Polish Legions. For his service in the Legions, he was awarded the Independence Medal. After the end of World War I, he was called up to the 12th Infantry Regiment.
Upon returning from the military (around 1922), he assisted his father, who owned a power plant, and also worked at a radio station in Krakow. He then became interested in motor sports. Initially, he participated in motorcycle races (on a Harley Davidson) and speedway races, achieving success, including winning the Silesian Speedway Championship. He later took part in rallies, races, and hill climbs. In 1930, he won the Tatra Race on a Rudge motorcycle. In 1931, he switched to car racing, purchasing a racing car from Count Mycielski (Bugatti T37A). He took third place in the 1931 Lviv Grand Prix, the best among Polish competitors. In the final Tatra Race in 1931, he also finished third in the overall standings, again the best among Polish competitors. He also engaged in amateur ski jumping on a hill he built in Myślenice.
On June 23, 1940, he was arrested by the Germans for his involvement in a clandestine organization. On the same day, he was transported to Montelupich prison. On June 29, he was taken to Krzesławice, where he was shot on the same day.
He was married to Anna Konder, with whom he had two children: Marta and Jacek.

The bikes in #3882 are early 1935 Harley VLs with the one-year unbraced horn brackets. Connie Schlemmer told me he was working in a dealership in 1935 and saw new bikes coming in with the horns hanging off because the bracket had fractured with vibration. So Harley put a diagonal brace in to fix it, and you have early and late one-year horn brackets. They are hard to make too, not folded straight straps but cut in a crescent shape then bent up to get the angles right for the horn mounts.Comment
