The length of 97" must have made it the longest machine on the road. Speed is claimed to be from 3 to 70 miles an hour.
The original cost was $335.00 and it was a lot of machine for the money.

Only a handfull of these have survived and this one is presented to you by www.yesterdays.nl worldwide dealers for fine antique motorcycles. |
