A friend (not a caber yet) Tom Traylor found these two late 20s-early 30s Elgin Cardinal and Bluebird. And within driving distance to me.

I was thrilled at the arrival of the new Curtiss Motorcycle book. It allowed me to identify this Curtiss promotional photograph I purchased at the Hershey Antique Auto Swap. The tandem riders are Mr. and Mrs. “Tank” Waters; Waters owned MECO (MESCO) Motorcycle Equipment Co. and shortly after started producing Erie motorcycles and bicycle engine kits with the manufacturing assistance of Glenn Curtiss.

This early Morrow hub also came to me; thanks Kenny.

Got some XTR brakes to upgrade the 1x1. Bought them piece meal, bummer they don’t match. Oh well.

Got another Supra for the collection, bought some TSLA and my wife brought me back this alpaca keychain from her vacation in Peru, which is too cute to get ruined by keys.
