1920 Triumph model 550h






 Acetylene headlamp I think


 10 to 12 stone... this is flipped upside down so it's easier to see than how it's on the bike.
but when did you ever see a weight limit of a motorcycle seat?



this doesn't have a steel chain, it has a linked leather band, like the Isotta Fraschini fanbelt.

 the top of this container says, Petroleum Spirits, Highly Inflammable




 Notice the above has a couple levers, and the previous similar photo did not have the Ignition late/early lever and knob




the vehicles in the movie War Horse

1911 Vauxhall C type


 the above bike is the only vehicle that has recognizeable nameplate or logo, it's a Premiere. It is a 1913 Premiere 500cc.  The above is a British character, the below are German
the Internet Car Movie database says the above are 1924 Triumph SD

http://www.imcdb.org/movie_1568911-War-Horse.html for the identification

Ever notice that movies seldom show the variety of vehicle relative to the fuel type? No alcohol, steam, or electric, and I doubt I covered the handful of other fuels... they just can't afford the cars or trucks that are that unusual I suppose. Anything that isn't gasoline probably isn't very easy to get ahold of

Proud new owners of Harleys, photos taken in the 40's or 50's I think, found by Bill who looks for cool old photos in color slides

If anyone knows what years these are, please help me out, email me at jbohjkl@yahoo.com or use the comment function.

If anyone knows of a good Harley visual ID guide to the bikes or the tank transfers / emblems / badges please send me a link or the photo or what ever. It seems like someone online must have posted a poster, page from a parts guide, or someting.

if I make this last one out correctly, it's a 1936-1939 because of the tank transfer (water transfer used to be a sticker type) 

the following are the only things I could find quickly, and they don't seem to be big enough to be useful
 the above is one page from the 1930-1941 spare parts book for Harley's that I posted a couple years ago http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/02/1930-1941-harley-spare-parts-factory.html

this last poster is available to purchase from All Poster, and so they won;t post a big image online
