Lonnie Isam Sr.'s Florida 6-stud H-D?

[c.o.]

If only we could borrow Henry Melk's magical lathe! The one H-D used in 1914 to time travel their way out of their own messed up early history.

I already have a title for the story: "The Fifth Founder: etc."

I would gladly read such a story!

Geeze, Don't ya have one of the newer models that runs on banana peels?

Nope, but if you do you'd better get at it Chris, there's questions to be answered!

[Chris Haynes]

Exactly! I'm still trying to get a hold of some plutoniom to fire up the DeLoreon and head back to get the answers!

It would be juicy enough, and would add another odd twist to these earliest H-D motorcycles and the guys involved with them.

Let's hope something juicy comes out of this!

The key ingredient right now is what Florida city the Florida bike came out of. Lonny Sr. said he would try to find that out. That would be a very valuable clue as to the bike's history.

Can anyone in FL do a search of the motor vehicle records to find when it was last registered?

[HarleyCreation]

Curiousity is really getting to me on this one. Any details on the earliest of the machines is very intriguing. I guess we will just have to wait until Lonnie resurfaces.....

It doesn't appear to be the Meyer/Sparough machine.

You're right. It's clearly a different bike. But which bike? Whose bike? And how did it end up in Florida? It all seems to depend on geography and if that comes together we might know something. And therein would be a tale, which of course might also include Mr. Sparough's elusive real #1 machine, which just sprouted wings and vanished!

Why don't you just ask these questions yourself? He may even be more inclined to answer your questions if you were to share your "new angle" with him first. Just a sggestion.

Did that. Got more information but nothing is certain yet about the new angle. Not proven, but not ruled out either. All I know is that is a very unique collection of parts to turn up unless the original owner had a very close or very old connection with Harley-Davidson.

Is Jurassic in the House?

I reviewed the thread about Lonnie's dad's 6-stud Harley, the green Florida bike:

Lonnie I hope you're reading this.

Did you ever ask your dad these things?

1) Does he know the name of the "elderly gentleman" who sold him the green Florida bike? Did he ever know the guy's name?

2) What year did he buy it in?

It would REALLY help to get that information from your dad for this new angle I'm working on. It could help identify that machine!
