Project Update

[Howard Gordon]

Started with the bicycle. Did all the prep work on the nickel plated parts, and got them to the plater. The rest of the bike is bare metal and ready for primer. Shifted focus to motor-wheel. Tuned-up and tired the bike it was attached to, then serviced the motor to see if it would run. After the 4th shot of starting fluid, it fired up and took off like a rocket. What fun! Now I'm confident I can tear down for restoration, knowing that all components are operable. Still havin fun - Howard

Howard do you have the serial number of your Military Model? Adrian is putting together a list of WWI bicycles with Serial numbers.

Thanks from another Military Model owner.
