Re: Old pictures
It could be, the years sound about right, but looking at the actual photo a little closer it looks like a chain drive, almost like a bicycle with a crank and pedals.

http://www.motosolvang.com/bike_page..._DOT_Racer.htm http://www.motosolvang.com/bike_pages/1914_Yale.htm these are two i found that looked similiar to the pic. the "Belt" drive term is sometimes referred from the motor to the pedal. so it might be a belt there and chain from pedal to sprocket, would be my guess. kind of like having a belt on your crank to run the motor, but the driveline spins the rear end.... ***we posted about same time, so not a prob, i will have to post some pics of his restoration its pretty sweet looking***

Go to Graceland, and you'll find out that Elvis loved to read and collect books, amongst all his other hobbies.

Re: Old pictures
Those American Pickers would eat that up. They are way into old bikes/motorcycles.
That bridge almost looks like the old St. Johns bridge or possible the old Ross Island one. |

American Pickers bought the remains of one of those not long ago on there show. It's a beautiful bike and very rare and if it's still in the family whow!!!!
![]() Another note, here is my dad back in the early 70's with if your eye is good you see the tail end of a 71-72 truck. This was taken in our drive way in Charlotte NC in Stone Heaven sub division. ![]() This picture was at Evertt Chevorlet in Hickory NC. This was late 69 I think, we lived in Conover then before moving to Charlotte. I was 9 years old then. Dad won the motor cycle for selling the most trucks. The camper was used by our family that year for 4 weeks of vacation. That was the first time I remember a vacation. it was wonderful.

Re: Old pictures
Geeze, look how much info showed up in the time it took me to reply. I did a Google search and found a complete 1908 issue of Motorcycles Illustrated... that was pretty neat.

Re: Old pictures
Thanks, Not quite sure if my wife would like it in the living room, but I do have it hanging in my office. My Great Grandma was 95 when she passed away, and I think my grandma, said she was 19 in that picture. so that would put it about 1909.
