And this is listed the same day, as 'john-b-hoefeler-paul-schmidt':

The 5 jersey wearing racers look no more than 15 years old. I can't recommend Don Emde's book, 'The Speed Kings' enough if you want to know more about that era.

That French postcard looks to be dated October 1904. It seems like two of the racers are bicycle pacer machines competing on a wooden velodrome track.

In #4222 the sidecar bike described as a 1930 Harley DL looks like a 1934 VL.

...now for something unusual, a fellow from New South Wales, Australia has taken some old photos, enhanced and colorized them, and then done something with AI to add a bit of motion to them. I don't know how I feel about this, but it's sort of fun to look at!

Thank You Harry. The animation is kinda 'wEiRdo', but watchable. Beautiful assembly of British Iron in that video!

I like looking at any old motorcycles too, so go ahead and post them.

I concur guys, anything with 2 wheels is A()k in my book. Besides, the Germans made some fine quality machinery over the years.

You are right hi is Fritz Wiese the winner in 1933
the great prize of Germany.
I have more pictures from Germany but I'm not sure if HD and Indian fans want to see pictures from Germany.
