1919 Lake

[Steve Slocombe]

Dear All, I've just found a brochure from about 1919/20 for a Lake V-Twin motor built in Milwaukee. I'll get it digitised for the Virtual Library, but has anyone else heard of this make?

[Jerry Wieland]

Yes Seems to me there might have been one at Davenport a couple of years ago. It was blue and I might have a picture of it. Jerry

Steve! That would be a great brochure to see. I don't believe the Lake engine was originally designed for a motorcycle but Jerry is right, a blue one does exist!

Cory the back ground in that picture seems real familiar.
Can you say where and who owned it at the time?

Jim,

I can't speak for where the photos were taken but I'm pretty sure the bike belongs or did anyway to Jeff Haberman in Wisconsin.
