I figured maybe I'd post some of the stuff I found on Google and see how this thread unfolds......

Here's an older issue of Walneck's. I dig through my back issues every so often and dream of days gone by. This issue features some of John Cameron's race bikes.

I find sometimes the book doesn't show up at the start so you have to scroll up the page to the cover............

Here's "American Motorcyclist" Nov. 1959

Lot of time can be lost in the google books - I found this in the 1915 Popular Mechanics - Looks like the MoCo is entering their 109th year.

Guess that makes it legal advertising then? I'd like to give them 'nearly' what they are asking for a new bike - ha!
How about these prices on surplus parts? Got $28? Would you prefer a box of headlights, or a complete front fork?

I think I'll take the "45" engine for under a hundred..........



Finally! I found an early one! You've got to scroll down about 9 pages to get goin' and it looks like it could keep a guy out of trouble for a minute or two...

I found them yesterday, but they didn't show when I tried to search again today - I guess I just haven't mastered the google search engine.
