1913 Pierce Project

There is a large clamp on the frame from where this seat post assembly originally attached… (see previous post for context)

Glad I could help the project along
The suspension seat post definitely found it’s proper home

Where are we at on this?

Sorry for the slow progress lately. It has definitely taken a back seat to other projects, but I actually did take the parts out last week and had a shop blast the inside of the tanks to finally begin re-assembling the frame tubes.

With regret, I want to inform our community of builders and collectors that my friend, “Carburetor” Carl has passed away. He was my strongest influence with regard to restoring a Pierce motorcycle in the first place. He was always quick to share his knowledge and resources whenever I leaned on him for direction. He made certain that I was always invited to his races and shows, and he religiously brought his Pierce Single Motorcycle to these events to share with anyone who was interested. Always ready to make others smile, Carl will certainly be missed.

I last saw Carl a couple months ago at an Irwindale Speedway drag race night where he convinced the announcer to allow the two of us to race our highwheel bicycles down the 1/8 mile track.

It's fitting that the sun is going down on these old- timers
