Steve,

I never saw the bike, he sold it in the late 1960’s (I was a child back then). Jules told a few stories about it and had these few photos.

[Steve Slocombe]

Thanks for the pictures and the bike must be a KRTT with those brakes. Does the TT appear in the engine number?

[FLFD7]

The last pictures I have of Jules’ KR from 1967, this time sporting a fairing.

And here is Jules wrenching on the bike

I believe he sold this bike to some guys from South Jersey, I can’t remember their names.

Some more pictures of Jules’ KR, these from 1966, sporting some nifty new bodywork.
Sorry for the photo quality, these are scans of faded Polaroids…

And a magazine photo from the Daytona 200 that year. Jules said his bike was running in third when halfway thru the race a valve broke. Jules blamed Harley as the valves were made in three pieces and it came apart. His rider was Don Twigg

Sorry, typo, it was the Tobacco Trail Classic race. Upper Marlboro was a road course, I found a video on youtube....

Here's another Servicar picture, taken about 1988 in Baltimore when the Police lady let me sit on the bike for a picture. The back of the photo says 68GE2185 so the trike would be 20 years old and still working. The Police lady was chalking tyres to see which vehicles had overstayed their parking time, just like in the old days.
