I took this Photo just this morning....

Wowzer...that is a cool ride for 102 years old. Those handlebars might feel a bit different, looks like it would be a little harder to control versus todays handlebars.
My dad was also a 1910 model

Yes Dale that is the original Paint, Engine, every single piece.........but........it is a Reproduction..lol It's a New Bike, but, it is almost exactly like the original...and it does have suspension... it is built into the frame. It's wild how this thing works....The owner has quite a few reproductions, but a Lot of Original bikes as well.

Now every year there is an international vintage bike/bicycle meet at the quad cities. We used to come in from Ohio when I lived there for this event. We rode in the 47 knucklehead with the sidecar all the way.
I am almost positive they had one or two of those there. It was amazing to see the variety of vintage motor bikes,cycles and non motor bikes too.
