Default 1914 HD poster

A friend of mine found this in a local 1914 newspaper. I thought it was cool enough to share.

Sound like the right size for those machines.

My first motorized bike was 3 1/2 HP, I upgraded to 5 HP then 8 HP. I can tell you that on a mini-bike with no suspension and a scrub brake 8 HP is more than enough.
