in a metal barn on a farm in South Dakota, 1948 Glider 28 foot trailer

the old gentleman who owned it wanted it saved as the family was going to crush it.

The nursing home brought him out to watch her come out of the barn for the first time in over 40 years. He was thrilled that someone wanted her and gave Ken clear title.

He is flipping it and if you have 7 thou, and want a very cool old trailer: Contact Ken Willson: 719-640-5380 (cell). Walsenburg, Colorado.

Velodrome d'Hiver, Paris, 1911

imagine what it would be like to be so excited to watch motorcycles race, for the first time ever, on an indoor board track, at the beginning of the motor age.

But this isn't a bunch of motorcycles for racing,  as NZ Carnerd pointed out:
They are cycle pacing machines. Note the style of the handlebars which keep the rider upright so he can provide a 'windshield' for the following cyclist.

The Velodrome d'Hiver (literally Winter Velodrome) and 'motor-paced racing' both have wiki pages.

Note the bikes have 'buckets' under the engines so that they don't drop oil on the wooden track, and the bikes have flat belt drive. A Google image search for 'pacing motorcycle' yields many interesting pictures but none I saw had the 'buckets' under the engines like those here.

1932 Böhmerland 600cc

The duplex frame is made from tubular steel with vertical and horizontal reinforcing bars and resembles a drag bike frame from the 1980’s. Basic but strong in design its sheer length had enough space for a uniform dual seat behind the motor and a third seat above the rear wheel.

The main frames suspension consisted of a rigid tail section that was part of the main frame member and not a secondary piece. As such to make both steering and ride quality up to the high standards he set Liebisch had to create a unique and complex front end. The fork used tubular triangular blades with internal reinforcement elements that were welded to cross bridges. Short horizontal arms and the lower ends of the strong vertical springs were attached to the lower parts of the blades. The cantilever design mean both leading arms and the yoke were effectively sprung allowing for maximum control of the front wheel.

The single cylinder displaced some 598cc making it not unlike the thumper engines of KTM and Honda, where things get crazy is the bore and stroke ratio with a massive 120mm stroke and slim 79.8mm bore.
