Very Cool to come up with that one Badger.Hopefully Matt Waksler has that pic to go with the bike.
Here is a bike a friend built in the '80s.Superglide chassis with Knuck motor.

I built a bike similar to that for my then wife in the winter of '73 for a trip we were planning. Here we are on top of Beartooth Pass in Aug 74, the Knuckle is in the foreground. In a '64 frame with a 72 Superglide fork assembly. 47 EL built as a 68 incher. My Pan/Shovel Stroker behind.

In '64,Roeder was riding 52KKX8 the same bike that Resweber had won championships with.The "Duck Bike"

The bike must have still been running out of Ralph Berndt's stable. Here's George Roeder (center) and Ralph Berndt (right) with a #94.

Great pictures of the Hendersons by JoJo, Especially #3823. These dapper gents have decided to patch the rear tube without removing the rear wheel from the bike. When I need to remove a tube, the force required to get the tire bead outside the rim seems greater on modern rubber than would be possible sitting in the dirt with short tire spoons. At least someone remembered to bring refreshments, too.

Those KRs are brutes. Here's my 60KR2029. They came out in 1952 but were still sold new through to 1966, and competitive for years after. It is always a thrill to see them still being raced at Wauseon. This one carries Brad Andres' race number, but surely only as a tribute. 60kr01b.jpeg

Do you know if this is George Roeder's #94? I would say Daytona due to palm trees and large fuel tank.

Yep Badger, the 'Flying Farmer' at Daytona.

Great picture, Bob, and thank you. The motorcycle is a 1916 (or real early '17) J electric based on the rear stand, and deep frame indents in the rear fender. I think the wheel disks look good on that bike, and obviously, it was painted a different color than the last standard 'Renault' gray of 1916 and earlier. I guess the building behind the students was under Contruction. or a hurricane had blown all the siding off. Love these pictures that allow a viewer to speculate.
