    I believe this photo would have been taken around late 20's . It is my Great Uncle and Great Great Grand father on our family homestead . I do not know what year or type of bike this is but if you know please chime in :-)

    **********************
    Update Phil was so kind and cleaned up photo and it looks much better now . Thank you Phil !

      Thanks Nicefice I thought it was a early Harley . Wish it was still on the farm to go pick it up :-)
    2. Vin55 Vin55, 7 years ago
      Awesome...just a thought either German or-- E. R. Thomas Motor Company was a manufacturer of motorized bicycles, motorized tricycles, motorcycles, and automobiles in Buffalo, New York between 1900 and 1919. Good Luck!
    3. Manikin Manikin, 7 years ago
      Thank you Vin55 for stopping and trying to ID bike . I made photo larger and I do see a HD on chain guard now like Nicefice saw . Would think it was a Harley Davidson ?
    4. PhilDMorris PhilDMorris, 7 years ago
      Its a beauty, loved working on your photo, I bet this guy was so proud to own it. It looks like such a great bike, very early too !!
    5. PhilDMorris PhilDMorris, 7 years ago
      I kind of thought it might date back further than 20's also.
    6. jscott0363 jscott0363, 7 years ago
      Wonderful family photo Mani and so kind of Phil to clean it up for you. It looks so very clear now, compared to the original.
    7. Manikin Manikin, 7 years ago
      Nicefice I think you nailed it 1914 HD it is . Thanks for the link . I maybe off by date of photo but he may have had it a few years before photo too . It looks like he was out driving it in the fields . If photo's could talk .
    8. Manikin Manikin, 7 years ago
      Thank you jscott0363 for stopping and yes Phil has some kind of magic he can work on photo's :-)
    9. Roycroftbooksfromme1, 7 years ago
      this is sweet old girl....Phil did a nice job as well...have to move some snow 2 ft or more coming in now and ending tomorrow, looking for a warm island for sale about now ...... '-))
    10. kyratango kyratango, 7 years ago
      Wow, Mani! Great photo, motocycle, and family memories!
      Phil's magic is amazing, the pic is now as neat as when it was taken :-)
    11. Manikin Manikin, 7 years ago
      Good morning Roy oh roy :-) you could buy a island they have them for sale but you would miss your mountain . No snow here at the moment and I am ready for summer , Have fun plowing snow today xo

      Last night I watched the Pamona Winter National drag racing. There were Harleys that topped 200 mph in a quarter mile. They have sure come a long way. Not your Great Grandfather's Harley any more.
    13. Roycroftbooksfromme1, 7 years ago
      '-)) you know me so well ...we're just having fun, hope things are well with you ..xx
    14. Manikin Manikin, 7 years ago
      Thegatekeeper No I doubt his bike would do 200 !! It was more like a dirt bike as all the roads in the small town were dirt . I love in Harley City and people here would not ride any other kind of bike :-)
    15. Manikin Manikin, 7 years ago
      Oh Roy O Roy we need a breath of fun :-) It is actually trying to get to 50 here today ! Keep on smiling and shoveling <wink>
    16. Roycroftbooksfromme1, 7 years ago

      Nice to have a photo that shows so much family history, Great house, Sweet bike and memories what more can ya ask for, except maybe great great grandpas pocket watch ;p ( well looks like it could be a pocket watch anyhow)
    35. Manikin Manikin, 7 years ago
      Thanks PoliticalPinbacks and yes that would be his pocket watch . Gee now I wonder who had it as he had 12 kids to divide it between . They are turned out hard working and honorable kids . Times have sure changed . Nice to have to stop by I sure don't post enough anymore I better get with it lol
    36. PoliticalPinbacks PoliticalPinbacks, 7 years ago
      My Grand parents on moms side had 11 kids, They were a different breed back then for sure, none of them sat inside playing video games LOL, I met grandpa but don't remember much as he passed when I was very young, Grandma was born July 4th 1897 she made it to age 98 so I knew her anyhow, she had a cigar and a shot every year on her birthday ;D, Never met either on my dad side his mom passed when he was 4 in 1917 and his dad 7 years before I was born.
      Keep the posts coming they keep us young, well you anyhow ;p
    37. Manikin Manikin, 7 years ago
      Yes it sure was a different time back then and so many kids grew up on a farm and we learned hard work made us feel better about ourselves and a accomplishment at end of day and it wasn't because we finally won at a video game . I met my Great Grandpa just once I was 4 yrs old when he passed , but my grandpa taught me how to milk a cow and clean a barn spic and span :-) I love your Grandma a cigar and shot a year must have kept her young !
    38. PoliticalPinbacks PoliticalPinbacks, 7 years ago
      Cleaning a barn can be a good workout,
      I know some who picked so many strawberry's they won't touch one today ;p
      Grandma had a dream at age 95 that she had another baby so one of my Aunt's bought her a doll for Christmas that year, She about peed her pants laughing, yeah she was young at heart.
    39. Manikin Manikin, 7 years ago
      What a great memory PP :-) I used to pick strawberries and still eat them everyday :-) love them still .

      Thank you MacDaddyRico I appreciate you stopping and giving a love :-)
