Found today in the AMCA Vintage MotorcyLibrary - AMA The Motorcyclist April 1934
Take a step back in time and once you're in the magazine take a leap back in time. What am I talking about? The April 1934 edition of The Motorcyclist AMA's periodical for members. What a great way to learn about our hobby decades ago. Technical articles, ads and commentary. Its available in our AMCA Vintage Motorcycle Library. Go to the AMCA Website, Login and then go to the Features tab and click the library. You will find a link on the screen - click and the check out the library. I recommend the first thing to look at is the "Recently Added" tab. There are quite few interesting vintage publications in there. Next try to do a search. At first on your search don't be so specific with many key words. Just get use to it by typing a single key word, for instance I typed in a search keyword Magneto and got back 13 items. You can also go to the "Browse ALL" and see all items in the library.
Here is the cover photo of the April 1934 Motorcyclist showing a period hillclimb site.

Inside the magazine is a neat article about how du Post family members built a motorcycle engine in 1900. Here is a screen shot of the first page of the article.

Enjoy looking at some of these gems that might otherwise would have remained hidden away in a personal collection.
