I've yet to meet Dave but I'm guessing he's got great stories to tell!

Indeed he does. Spent a few hours on Saturday chatting with him. He's always a treat to visit ... Perry

wonder if the bolt cutters are to be used to remove the chain from the sportster, looks like the one fellow may have lost his keys

Hey HAWG,

I was looking closer at the lock on the bike I think it is a combination lock the dial looks to be facing the seat..........either way the guy kinda "looks lost" .............and S.O.L.

I'm not sure if this shot of Maldwyn has already been posted.....

Just to keep this thread from getting lost. This first photo is of a man named Lucius Copeland and his steam powered high wheeler he built. Must have been truly thrilling to ride.



And then there is this dapper and daring fellow

And that's why Flanders motorcycles are rare.

That Flanders shot is pretty cool. Thanks for posting it Brian. Somewhere there's a pic of Pete Gagan (maybe in the club mag) posing like the pic of Copeland.

Here's a couple more shots.........forgive me if I've posted any repeats.......

I've seen Ms. speeding ticket before, funny that guy's wife doesn't look as thrilled as he does about the situation. And many thanks Micmac, great original shot of the Munroe Special.
