This farmer is less conserned in dresscode than some previous pictured motorcyclists. His mount is a 1918 or 19 Harley 61"(1000cc). Bike is running a electric headlight powered by a Splitdorf generator mounted in front of the engine. This rather common rebuild is most likely done by the local blacksmith as the lamp is not made by HD. The original gas lamp is still mounted at the rear mudguard.

The two brothers, Ragnar & Jon (youngest brother Ragnar behind the handlebars) on their approx 1920 Harley 61" (1000cc). Picture is taken while visiting the small town Eid in Western Norway. E-2182 is an electrically equipped model, lamps made by Harley and horn by Klaxon?

This cool picture from the Western part of Norway show Jakob Kjellevold with his sidecar equipped Indian 1915 or 16 (its chassis is the early Hedstrom design but a closer look at the engine show its sidevalve. They where in this chassis for only two years?).
There should be no doubt that Jakob is the boss for this team of guys working with the development of the telephone system in rural parts of western Norways. On could say that Jakob have a boss`s attitude (and he have an Indian too).





Jakob with his three brothers as passengers, cool picture.

Bike is running with acetylene lights even on the sidecar. State of the art then.
