Thanks Jarek and the bike looks like a 1930 VL with that tank paint scheme and the 'earlier 1930' two piece valve covers and forward right tank fuel filler. The headlight is of course non-factory, but some export bikes to Germany went without headlights so that Bosch units could be fitted to support local industry.

You're right, this town was close to the German border at that time and maybe they bought a motorcycle there or a second-hand one.

Kinda figured he'd be recognized, M.A.D. ....

From the immediately preceding pics.

PS: Here he is included again, although it is a poor copy...

And the dust on their faces makes identification difficult, but might #22 be 'Shoeless' ?

Dave Campos is an old friend. When I was a young guy building strokers he was the one to get S&S stuff from back then (early 70s). He worked as a mechanic for the City of ABQ transit system so I'd go see him in the bus garage. He along with a couple other local guys were very well known drag racers at the time. Here is the liner at an AHRMA event we hosted some years back and I was heavily involved with.

From post #3934, .. #22 is Alva Stratton, pic is from Dodge City 1915.

Many Thanks, Badger!

I can guess at most in the line-up, but the second and the last still escape me, as interwebs snags never have enough info...

PS: Parkhurst looks exhausted.
