Vaughn's Early-'17 takes two full entries.

POST SCRIPT ... just got back from Maysville KY .. grandson has a large package for me ...
inside ... pair of matching (to the late '17 FM chassis) --- set of Davis-type deep fenders AND
a very-nice, choice original leather Tip-Top Saddle, ...
not putting tillers on this machine ...
low, North-American, bars that have an attitude for scorching are much-more appropriate.

Great bikes...

patric...
Most of the rare bikes from the early era that I have seen here
are in their original condition even if not complete.

Others may feel different about this...but I like that they are
still "as is" in their original if faded colors...

Thank You for sharing !
 
Thanks

Thank you patric for giving me more information on the merkel and thank you dave for taking great pictures of the merkel

I really enjoyed meeting everyone at the shows this year and hope to see you all at more shows.

Thanks vaughn

I tried to get a price out of the guy last year and all I got was "Bags of Money" Since I was fresh out of those I moved on, but it was nice.
