Hi Doug,
I see an eight bolt motor.
Draw an imaginary line down the center of the cylinder, and I believe I count 4 bolts on one side. Too bad the rider is covering up so much detail.
Nice picture though !!

Earl,
I think someone added two bolts since the other day!

Indeed Barry, thats my thought as well, but I`m no expert and hence I would like other to give their opinion.

No expert here either, but I see the cases on the left-hand bike are 6 bolt.

Ken... I'm thinking you're right on the Excelsior Autocycle notion... I can't quite see what's going on with the exhaust but it does seem to be lacking one...

Am I right in assuming the two bikes to the left of the ?07 Harley are Excelsior Autocycles ?? the one near the center has no exhaust , wonder what the story is ?? or do I need better glasses ?? see pic ----

Found this cool photo on the www, what is the bike on the far left? Looks older than the other bikes, wich means 1907-09?

Sverre!!!

Now that shot is a real jewel!! I took the liberty of isolating the bike you referred to. I'm guessing you may be able to identify it now......

Great shot sludge! A good study of such photos certainly tells a story! Thanks for contributing!!

Oh by the way, your ol HD jerseys have new arms now, he he.

The story is in the news paper clipping next to the photo. The guy who took the photo worked for the news paper and entered this pic in a still photo competition after blowing it up. It is of a 1968 sporty which crashed in 1970 and the guy lived. I thought the pic was an awesome site, it makes me pay attention a little more when out on a ride.

Is there a story that goes with this photo?
