According to the poster of this picture, this is an 1885 German inventor’s idea of a motorcycle. He states the inventor attached a four stroke engine to a wooden bicycle frame and added two side wheels for stability. He states the motor had a belt of sorts which would turn the rear wheel.
Don't you think history is fickle? All the ideas that came before the so called "first" motorcycle...and we hardly ever see or hear of these pre-cursers....

I am very happy to write things that cause others to engage in discussion or comment! In fact, I'd be delighted to have y'all leave a comment and a link to your own MOTORCYCLE/TRAVEL or PERSONAL blog! I enjoy reading the work of others, and the more of you who post the links to your own sites, the more there is to share and talk about. DON'T POST LINKS THAT LEAD TO ADVERTISING. I don't allow advertising here. I hate to be pestered with that stuff. I will delete any link that leads to advertising.
