Maybe I'll take the philanthropic route and just give the old warhorse away
Hey Hawg, did you know the Elmhurst brothers from Indian River who owned the bike before Choate bought it? Also wondering what the dealer's name in Hamilton was.

If you are going to give it away, I'll take it! Actually a very nice, and rare, bike!

That bike is indeed a very nice and rare bike!!! I gotta get down to the gas station to buy a lottery ticket!!!

Barry, this could be a start... This is from the June, 1912 issue of the Canadian Motorcycle Journal and Bicycle Review..... I'll do some more digging tomorrow night and see if I can drum up some info from 1913 .......

[Barry Brown]

Cory ! That was great. After watching your many contributions to this forum over the last few years I think you should have been a research librarian!

[c.o.]

If someone would offer decent pay for pre-1930 research I'd start tonight.... When time allows this evening I'll try to dredge up some more Hamilton details.... I should mention that Tom Wilcock has been a great source of info on the Canadian history I've posted!

Well Barry... I came up a little short on tonight's hunt. I could only find mention of the Hamilton dealer renewing their contract with H-D for the 1914 year. So that would indicate that particular dealer sold your bike new. But it doesn't confirm that it was the same dealer as 1912 though I suppose one could assume. I'm curious about this now.... I'll keep digging.....

1913 Literature

Warning , this is VERY boring and almost 10 minutes long. Watch at your own risk.

Thank you, Barry, for your posting. The narrative was very informative made it so interesting and noway boring!
I have had this 1913 literature for many years, hoping to meet someone with a 1913. Have you ever seen these accessory pamphlets?
How about that pedal crank straightener!!

Steve,
If you could do PDF scans of that 1913 literature and submit it to the clubs on line library we could all see it.

[Barry Brown]

I agree, that is amazing unseen stuff! And in MINT condition. It would be great to have a look before it all gets buried in a collection.
