  • That ad was just for publicity was it? Interesting. Dick are you going to have your findings in print at some point? It would be a great read!

      Cory,
      I was at Jeffs shop 2 week ends ago,to look at racer seats and do a quality comparison between the several board tracker seats he has, before I decide who to buy from.
      2 of his bikes are at Vegas,He stated that they will be saved for the last day of auction

      • Ken, when you mentioned a second bike I decided to do a search. I see that he is/was selling his Lake as well. He did a great job on that one!

          • Cory, HD wasn't the only maker trying to pull a fast one back in the day. There is so much
            we don't know.

            Ken, I received a email from Jeff this morning and he said he brought both bikes back home with him. No sales!

            • From Mid-America.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_MGe5KA_go Do you think the Lake is somewhat misrepresented on the description? It leaves one to wonder.

                  Isn't the "Lake" motorcycle Jeff's own creation? That is, there was not a Lake motorcycle in the early days so far as I know. None existed until now.

                  But a wonderful looking job to be sure!

                    I see the 2010 results are up now...... here's a link to Jeff's bike..... http://www.midamericaauctions.com/sh...ehicleID=18369 by the looks of things it didn't sell.
                    Notice how it states "famous" Waverley motor. How had it become famous this quickly and where did they get the name Waverley to begin with??? Did it have some earlier history we don't know about????

                    That stuff bugs me...

                      Herb, I believe that the Lake was Jeff's own creation. I agree that he did do a really good job on his version of "what could have been".

                        Herb, here is what the motor looked like in the late 90's. Notice the shafts protruding from both sides of the crankshaft. I wonder what it was made for. I also attached the front cover from a Lake Motor Co. brochure. It lists all the uses for the motor. WOW! Jack of all trades.

                            My thoughts exactly and you put it very well.

                              Do you mean the Lake OHV motor that Dick posted or something else?

                                Yeah, what was the purpose? From the ad it implies you could specify the Lake for any configuration you needed.

                                What is the date of that ad? Why do I think it's 1919?

                                Do you know of any other Lake motors in existence? It sure is Perry E. Mack cool. Jeff did a very interesting thing with it so long as people don't think it's a real vintage make but like Cory said: "What might have been."
