    You do have a point there Cotten but I'm sure after a ride like that most of the old body would be numb!

    • Rooster.......Herb's book is a pretty good read. When I find my memory fading on it's contents, I just pick it up and read it again! That book is the main reason I fell in love with Harleys all over again! Oh, and I think your right about Scott's racing pic. I can read a 1910 and 1911 on it. I also see Motor Cycling but I'm not sure what the "H" word is. I still wish we had the stories for some of these races...

        Here's a little glimpse of the times from Motorcycling Nov 2, 1911...... Sorry about the one print scan I couldn't manage to get it any clearer. I found if I set back from the screen a little bit that it didn't bugger my eyes up too bad!

                Incidentally, I believe this photo is reversed. If you use a photo-editing software and flip it horizontally, suddenly the writing becomes legible. It appears to have a date of 1910 or 1911 (was written over) and 'perhaps' the words "Motor Cycling, Hammond (?)"

                Here, see what you think:
