I found this video on MySpace, and even though it has motorcyles and sidecars, it's on an old board track and is the smoothest video that I,ve seen to be made in 1920.
Click HERE (http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=5561686) sit back and enjoy.

No wonder the average age of humans were around 60 yrs old in those days!!
If you stop the video at 3:05,you'll see a well dressed man on his cell phone at the right of the scene.Hah!

Leave it to Olen to find this stuff! Wonderfull! Thanks, Olen. When we were kids, the Indian motorcyle was our favorite. Must have been the skirted fenders. Best we could come up with at that age, though, was a Cushman scooter. Only a few kids had them. I had to settle for a bike with the front fender mounted on the rear to simulate a racing motorcycle. Most of us got our 'racing' kicks from backyard built soap box derbies that we'd race down the nearest hill.

Hey Bill, you just reminded me of my first "Motor-bike".We would clip a couple of playing cards to the rear wheel where they would hit the spokes as it was turning,sounding like a motor when you peddled fast.Some of the rich kids had a "Wizzer" motor that sat on the front wheel.Wow,what memories.~Olen
