        The " Enthusiast" was first published in 1916, and has become the longest ,continuous, motorcycle publication, still being produced today.

            any thoughts?
            THIS BIKE IS A 1914 2 SPEEDER. I HAVE SOME ARTICLES ON THIS LADY IN MY EARLY MAGAZINES BUT IT COULD TAKE A WHILE TO FIND THEM

              THIS IS AN OLD FLOYD CLYMER REPRINT OR THE 4TH ENTHUSIAST. AS BEFORE THE ENTHUSIAST THERE WAS ANOTHER HARLEY FACTORY PUBLICATION I BELIEVE CALLED THE DEALER NEWS. RAT SCHERK HAD SOME OF THESE AS BOUND VOLUMES AND SOLD THEM BACK TO HARLEY. YEARS AGO A COLLECTOR FRIEND FOUND A STACK OF THESE VERY FIRST ISSUES OF THE ENTHUSIAST IN THEIR ORIGINAL MAILER ENVELOPES AT A GENERAL FLEA MARKET AND BOUGHT THEM ALL FOR PEANUTS!

                      Have you ever wondered why Floyd Clymer suddenly left Denver for CA?

                        Glad to see this thread is still active, will try to make a few contributions.

                        This guy posing on his VL is clearly impressing the girls. His nickname was "Kilowatt" as he was an electrical engineer.

                        And then there is the idea that we are here on earth to get a certain amount of things done before we die.
                        This is a great theory.
                        If it is true, I am so far behind that I will never die...

                          I am not that sure that this little bike is "Made in America" but still, any hint what make this is is apprechiated.

                              Low resolution, but still.

                              Again, snow didnt scare the rider of quality motorcycles;



                              What bike is this??
