Racycle photo

[Perry Ruiter]

surfdude was having problems posting this photo and emailed it to me and asked me to post it for him. Story is he was over at a neighbours and saw this picture up on the garage wall. The neighbour explained it was his great grandfather - Charlie Pinette of Berlin NH ... Perry

Here's just the bike. No doubt the neighbour would be interested in a rough date of the bike. I know nothing about Racycle so can only hazard a guess of circa 1910 ... Perry

I'm going to guess 1911. If I'm not mistaken prior to then the carburetors were in front of the cylinder and the spark plug was at the back. Just a rough guess also. Cool pic.....

Ok the MC is Very nice and just so you all know Berlin is a papermill town and one wild place to live or party !!!!! Id bet he worked in the mill or in the woods for the mill!Thanks for helping out Perry!

Good story....if only the neighbor said, you wanta see the bike it's out back under a tarp for the last 80 years.............

believe me, the first question was "who is that?" and the next question was "where is the bike now?"!!! long gone, unfortunately.

What about the #16 on the front? Is that a competition bike? Modified?
