  1. I haven't seen E.J. for many years. His nephew Lonnie Isam was the motivation behind the collection. Last I heard over 800 bikes and that was about 10 years ago. To top it off they are mostly very rare and very desirable machines.
  2. "barn fresh" is being used in the motorcycle world. what a great oxymoron
  3. Whew! This is a pretty old thread! Was that ever sold??
  4. I would say they have been "restored" and the name tag has foolishly been buffed out by the rechromers, a common amateur mistake.
  5. I already have the Harley! Now I need the truck!
  6. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS A KNOX. ANYONE KNOW OF ONE FOR SALE?
  7. HERE IS THE SIDECAR. THE HENDERSON BIKE IT WILL BE HOOKED UP TO IS A "BARN FRESH" BEAUTY SO CREATING THE RIGHT PATINA IS IMPORTANT TO ME. Any enlightened serious suggestions welcomed. I thought about speeding up the oxidation with salt water or something similar.
  8. I photographed this incredible GN at Prescott in 2008 and would like to replicate the aged look of the aluminum on a sidecar which I had made for my 1927 Henderson motorcycle. I know the name of the gentleman that built the GN but do not have any contact info for him. If you are curious the engine is a circa 1908 JAP aircraft job and the rig is reputedly very quick.
  9. great looking truck Bike appears to be a 1913 identical to one I have.
  10. 1937 to 1939 big twin. the fifth stud was not used in 1936. the early clutch was not used in 1940. kickstarter hole has been plugged. if you shift it through the gears you may find it is a 3 speed plus reverse which was first used in 1939. if it is a 4 speed 1939 box ,neutral will be between 2nd and third other than between first and second because they used the same shifter drum in 1939 only for both types of boxes.
  11. what model of BSA? If it is a vee twin I am very interested please send me a pm with pictures and price oldmill@kingston.net Thanks
  12. POST A PICTURE. I AM SURE THERE ARE A LOT OF US THAT HAVE UNIDENTIFIED CAPS THAT MAY FIT THE BILL.
  13. Wow! Right hand drive with the optional luggage rack. That has got to be one very rare truck! Very nice. Is it down under?
  14. This is NOT a Scout from that period. It is a circa 1917 POWERPLUS model. The Scout did NOT have rear suspension and also had a one piece front fender amongst many other differences.
  15. OR A YARD THREATENED BY TREE HUGGERS AS ONE OF THE LARGEST YARDS IN CANADA , MINAKERS OF MILFORD ONTARIO , IN BUSINESS SINCE 1924 SADLY CRUSHED OVER 3000 CARS. WHAT A FIASCO. TREASURES MELTED DOWN TO MAKE CHINESE GARBAGE TO SELL BACK TO US. THERE WAS A VAN FULL OF NEW OLD STOCK BUDD 20 INCH WHEELS ALL NOW MELTED PLUS COUNTLESS MORE UNOBTANIUM.
  16. quick guess is a Riley Kestrel
  17. can anyone help ID these? The top two halves are not matched.
  18. darn, I knew they would be worth something to somebody someday, had em all and more and recycled them!
  19. I have a friend that needs a set of fender lamps. These are miniature copies of the headlamps.
