Merrill Anderson and his Harley Davidson hill climb bike.

I recently purchased this old press photo.  Not sure if it was ever published anywhere.  I think it must also be new to the internet.  Back of the photo indicates that Merrill suffered a broken rib and other injuries on this run.  The event was put on by the Hawkeye Motor Club in Ford Iowa.  Date stamped on back is Sept 1 1926

Excelsior hill climber tank.

Cool piece of history.  Interesting combo of Excelsior tank with Harley colors and letters.

Old photo album.

I bought an old photo album on Ebay.  It came from Ypsilanti Michigan.  In it were the normal pictures of babies, pets, friends and family.  To my surprise it also contained a post card of Napoli Italy from 1939.  Strange coincidence since I was just there a few weeks ago.  It also contained a great picture of Lovall Pegg on his Harley.  I' guessing the two pictures at the top are of the Muskegon Michigan hill climb.

Not sure the top bike is a purpose built hill climb bike.  May be a boardtrack bike converted.  It is the earliest example I have seen of a bike sponsored by someone other than the bike manufacture.
