yea... "Dawn" of the Motorbikes!

The first motorbike > Gottlieb Daimler > 1885...

Gottlieb Daimler used a new engine invented by engineer
Nicolaus Otto. Otto invented the first "4-stroke comb. Engine"
>1876. As soon as he completed his engine, Daimler
(a former Otto employee) built it into a motorcycle.

The best part of this story...".there was no one around to tell Daimler
that it was not period correct or he was destroying an original & the paint
or restoration was over done.."...

my Fauber hanger >1899[/QUOTE]

Seeing CrowneKing's collection in person, I noticed he had a lot of these "heart murmur" style fauber rings on many of his bikes. I believe they were offered on a good number of Great Western Mfg. bicycles being that they were made in Kokomo, IN. Great Western was based in LaPorte, IN.
