ancient motorcycles

Friday, June 11, 2010

here's a picture of the famous English motorcycle "Dreadnought" built in 1902 by the well known Harold "Oily" Karslake. he made it from a B.A.T. frame and a 402cc DeDion engine. he made the tanks and other parts of the motorcycle himself. no clutch of course. it is still in existence and ridden occasionally. pretty good for a bike that is 108 yr. old.
i don't know what the next picture is except that it is old and different. looks like it has hub center steering. it was made and ridden in the us of a maybe in the late teens early twenties of the last century. i'm just guessing from the look of the clothes and the engine. couldn't find anything else about it. quite interesting though. very modern in a way.
