Funny you should say. I know of one of those dirt bikes up above here^^.

Guy wants IMO way to much but if your that interested... let me know (look at where I live first).

Those RT Duc's make big money in the UK when they come up for sale (not often) I've seen them sell for over £12,000 ($18500?) in very good restored (not concourse) condition.
 
'Course, for visuals, it's hard to beat the Rickman Honda:

Cant upload the pic now as im on the phone, but I came across a pic of a '47 HD Knucklehead hillclimber this AM that may be one of the most righteous scoots ever. Its not fancy, or overtly noticeable even, but just looking at a pic of this bike makes you want to eat a steak, drink whiskey, and do dirty things with girls you meet at a carnival. Ill throw the pic up asap.
 
And the shirts they wore back then too.

Looking at allot of pictures of 80 to 100 years ago, people never wore any of brand associated clothing. In fact I cant find any examples. Could the early motorcycle and automotive industry have something to do with this?

You will see the board track racing team shirts and automotive racing but that's it...

Because it wasnt socially acceptable. Men wore suits and dress shirts. Women wore dresses. Thats it.
 
Hoof that seat looks like is set perfectly, to remove the "package" of whoever rode it.
LOVE that bike though.
 
Hey Ringo, did you know I had and internship with Pepo at Radical Ducati this past summer. The Pursang may not be all that appealing but once you are on it, it is an amazing bike.

heres my wish list
