    just got home from davenport - yess tooooooo hot, we left for national motorcycle museum during races because of the heat

    that's dave leitner jefferson

    I purchased block chain and a repo headlight/prestolite tank bracket for the "X"

    I saw lots of people walking around but not many carrying treasures

    my biggest complaint would have to be the driver/s of the cars in the parking lot that blocked me and others in. someone parked right behind my trailer friday morning preventing me from unloading my bikes to show - and they did not see the car parked in front of me. when they finally came back I asked the to move ( they did ) and while eatting a few feet away unloaded 1 bike some one else parked in same spot blocking 2nd bike in trailer - they arrived just before races to leave. I noticed I was not the only one with 3 or 4 cars in a row

    t5hanks for the pics rob - some are of things I missed

    most of the venders I talked to about the meet all said the same no one showed up. there where a lot more venders and a lot less customers buying .all in all it was worth the trip.Jeff from the west coast said Thursday was his best davenport ever and I thought sales where very slow Thursday because of the heat , but I did get the diamond frame Mike the picker got from John Chadwell turns out its a twin frame around 1907-8 and motors out there???

    Any idea on the background on this Jefferson OHV and how much of it is original?

    Thanks!

    Thanks for the shot, good talking with you at the meet. I must have rode at least 10 miles inside the fair grounds on the Ghost, is this photo the best you can do?
