OK, we do know a lot on Roper and his steam motorcycles.
What about Shaffers?
Just came across the enclosed photo in a 1901 issue of an European motor magazine, showing Mr. Richard M. Shaffer taking control of the handlebars on his racing steam tandem motorcycle.
Mr. Shaffer is a true believer in steam rather than petroleum (sick!) and intend making loads of steam engined motorcycles out of his Baltimore workshop named Shaffer engine manufacturing company!
This is a new one to me. Anyone aware of this brand or know if there is one still around??
