Fantastic picture of two rare, and early motorcycles. On the right is the very rare Marsh-Metz 90 degree twin, and on the right is a beautiful blue '11-'12 Flying Merkel. Both well accessorized, and dolled up.

That's 'Farmer Joe' Wolter on the left, Folks!

Can anyone identify the other two?

I'll take a guess, Tom; I believe that is Red Parkhurst on the right, and possibly Irving Janke in the middle.

I don't know, Eric..

He's certainly tall enough, but his jaw would be more square, I think.

Looks a little more like Otto; I haven't found Irving Janke in my snag collection yet. Got any pics to compare?

(Now that I look closer, the fellow in the middle looks like he went down on the left side of his face like Artley!)

I can see that's labeled 'Ormond Daytona race 1908', M.A.D,..

But I really must ask: What the Hell are the rocket packs on the tanks?

Great pics!

Exactly Cotten...the 'rocket packs' were an easy way of eliminating the competition...

The early Indians had those cylinder shaped pacts on their down tubes, well for racing purposes, Indian relocated atop the frame and hid the electronic components in those 'rocket packs'. This being the 1908 Race Carnival event, with speed records & bragging rights at hand, some of the extra pacts were ready to go back-up electronics. The pacts also protected the components from the salt water and sand elements.
