Vintage Pics of the Day

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

+1 KR's are beautiful machines!

Here's another KR Daytona bound and also a second 1st gen Ranchero hauler, this one with Lake Pipes. Ralph Berndt and Carroll Resweber loaded up for Daytona.

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

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.

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.

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.

My BIL on his new R75. We rode up to Banff, back down into WA and the World's Fair in Spokane from ABQ NM.

Thanks Chris. It appears to me that the gentleman fixing the flat is, William G. Henderson?
