I wonder if the 3rd guy from the left, is Blackie Schwinn ? The X looks like a 1911.

It always amazes me how young in age these pioneers where.

The Ex is probably earlier than an '11. The tank slopped down at the
rear on the 1911s.

I think you're right Bob.

Hi folks, it`s time to contribute with some more motorcycle shots from the Norwegian biking scene`s eraly years who indeed was dominated by the American marques.

Oh, and thanks for the interesting info on the female rider on one of my previously posted images. Is there anywhere on the web I can read more on her??

Here is an ca. 1919 Henderson and its proud owner;

Here is an Excelsior? There is no doubt that the passenger is a more "important" guy than the driver (foreman and worker?).

That owner certainly had his thinking cap on when he put together that Cleveland sled. That's a pretty cool little rig! Thanks for posting some new "old" stuff sveger!

Great steering approach on the Cleveland sled;
So many of the sleds just used ropes!

Very much appreciated,
