Puckett's H-D in Orlando had a Knucklehead/w/sidecar that was built for a disabled rider. The bike and sidecar had been re-acquired from the original owner and on display in their showroom for a number of years. I recall Buddy Puckett saying that the rig was designed and built by the Harley-Davidson factory and further enhanced by Puckett to the satisfaction of the buyer. I wonder if H-D was thinking of building rigs for disabled WW2 veterans who wanted to be part of the post war motorcycle boom that flourished in the late '40s and '50s. I don't recall if the rig was electric start, but Bruce Palmer would know as he was more familiar with that unique rig.

Badger, He was a friends grandpa that worked on the RR. Got caught in a between cars pulled his legs off. Wade "Baldy" Lentner from Ottumwa was an HD dealer that was near the tracks & friends with Bill. Wade built this electric start trike for Bill. Wade sent the drawings to HD & they didn't do it the same but they did create E start trikes a year before the Panhead. My friend left this calendar with me 25 years ago & never came back to get it.

Thanx Robbie, It is this page not always loading the pics. It says please load a photo after I did. If I go out & come back to the thread it asks if I want to restore what I was trying to do. I click yes & It then acts like it loads. I have been seeing the same with some of the other people's posts shows no pic. Maybe too high resolution for this group but it doesn't say that. [ like others have said, I see my pics on my post & yours.]

Is anyone aware of a Detroit Triumph motorcycle remaining in existence?

'Color Me Gone' Badger. Detroit Triumph, which was in Shelby Township, shut their doors in February of 2025. There is a Triumph/Indian Dealership *(Dick Scott's Freedom Powersports) in Livonia.
