Nice, I'd like to get a old motorcycle some day. What do you think it is and the cars. The far car looks to be a brass era t.

Old motorcycles used to be low priced but not any more.

Many pre-1940 motorcycles can rival 2-lever T's for price and availability.

It might be a Model 39 Buick of 1911 but hard to be sure. The odds are the bike is a Harley as they made so many but lots of other belt drive singles were around then. The details are just a bit vague.
When did I do that?

Found it :-) The garage is in Stratford, New Zealand.

"Exterior view of Mudford & Sons motor garage, Stratford, photographed circa 1912 by James McAllister. Shows a wooden one storey building with two cars and a Triumph motorcycle alongside. The car on the left is a Model T Ford. Men unidentified. "

Thanks Adrian! I guess I'd like an old Triumph then. I like the thought of OLD bikes too. Excuse me, Motorcycles.
The cylinder is more upright and the handle bars are canted down at the grips.
Raoul, that's the crap ain't it? They're slower, eccentric and difficult. ($$$$) But I like slow, eccentric and sometimes difficult.
And I want one John and Dave. I saw a 20's HD frame with wheels sold for 2300 bucks on a farm auction in western MN and the buyer likely gotta heck of a deal! I was looking at a Twin City 17-28 tractor pile then. Didn't have "a pot to go potty in" back then.

Nice find Adrian. These things bounce around the internet and we often don't know where they came from.
We aren't all bikers. I bought this in 1973 for $75. I work on it from time to time and it is fun but I let Ts and other projects interrupt it. It has been enjoyable making the tanks, caps, shifter and pedals, but after 46 years I may not finish it. However it has appreciated some in that time.
