I'd personally love to see more of the Phila. police bike photos - my Mom was born there in '11 and lived there until '47 when she married my dad and move south. Lived just off Lancaster Avenue on Preston Street.

Knowing the Philly cops he would likely take the handlebar off and beat people with it.

That appears to be a Hedberg siren.

Philadelphia Police Bike

I recon the officer wasn't used to those new fangled front brake things and was too enthusiastic to grab it and it threw him into the right bar !!!! then with the back end in the air the rear stand came undone as did the jiffy and the bike came to a rest as seen , whipping out his box browny , he snapped the picture for posterity !!!!! Yes must agree , definitely a tyre pump !!! Love the siren ! keep them coming , Ken (from beautiful snowy England)

I take it that it's a tyre pump clipped to the front downtube

Sure looks like it to me.

Now that's an interesting photograph.
The bike shows no obvious accident damage but the right hand handlebar is bent at a strange angle and although the bike is resting on the jiffy stand the rear stand is unclipped.
I take it that it's a tyre pump clipped to the front downtube

This is a Danish AJS owner with a rather interesting model, the transversed V-twin model S-3 is a rare bird today.

Many thanks for these great photos, Sverre!
When I look at this photo, I see a serious rider with very high-tech state-of-the-art riding gear! That looks like some heavy leather...! His face is wind-burned and the bike is muddy and cruddy. I'd love to know the story behind the photo.....

Came across this cool photo a few days back, a Scandinavian Militaire!!! This image proved what I`ve said for years, there seems to be no limits for what brands motorcycles that where present in the early years of Scandinavian motorcycling.
