syscrusher Posted February 9, 2014 #126 Posted February 9, 2014 It is a Scott, but newer by a number of years than your guess. What model Scott? Scott Flying Squirrel somewhere between 1926 and 1940 and it was my next stumper, I don't know how you did that.
Prairiehammer Posted February 9, 2014 #127 Posted February 9, 2014 Scott Flying Squirrel somewhere between 1926 and 1940 and it was my next stumper, I don't know how you did that. Close enough. It is a 1928 Super Squirrel.

Curtiss "Fastest Man On Earth" 136.3 MPH 1907 - YouTube[/ame]
hell yea Posted February 10, 2014 Author #135 Posted February 10, 2014 Bicycles and motorcycles[edit] Glenn Curtiss on his V8 motorcycle in 1907 Curtiss began his career as a Western Union bicycle messenger, a bicycle racer, and bicycle shop owner. In 1901 he developed an interest in motorcycles when internal combustion engines became more available. In 1902 Curtiss began manufacturing motorcycles with his own single-cylinder engines. His first motorcycle's carburetor was adapted from a tomato soup can containing a gauze screen to pull the gasoline up via capillary action.[2][3][4] In 1903 he set a motorcycle land speed record at 64 miles per hour (103 km/h) for one mile (1.6 km). When E.H. Corson of the Hendee Mfg Co (manufacturers of Indian motorcycles) visited Hammondsport in July 1904, he was amazed that the entire Curtiss motorcycle enterprise was located in the back room of the modest "shop". Corson's motorcycles had just been trounced the week before by "Hell Rider" Curtiss in an endurance race from New York to Cambridge, Maryland.[5] In 1907, Curtiss set an unofficial world record of 136.36 miles per hour (219.45 km/h), on a 40 horsepower (30 kW) 269 cu in (4,410 cc) V8-powered motorcycle of his own design and construction. The air-cooled F-head engine was intended for use in aircraft.[6] He would remain "the fastest man in the world," to use the title the newspapers gave him, until 1911,[7] and his motorcycle record was not broken until 1930. This motorcycle is now in the Smithsonian Institution.[8] Curtiss's success at racing strengthened his reputation as a leading maker of high-performance motorcycles and engines.[9]

Prairiehammer Posted February 10, 2014 #140 Posted February 10, 2014 The name means "motor in a bag". 1929 M.A.G. Motosacoche 500 Sport Motorcycle
syscrusher Posted February 10, 2014 #141 Posted February 10, 2014 Yes it is P. Hammer. The company had originally sold kits to motorize bicycles, essentially a motor in a bag to be mounted on the bike. So what is yours, do you have more hints, is Moto Guzzi even close?
Prairiehammer Posted February 10, 2014 #142 Posted February 10, 2014 ... is Moto Guzzi even close? Same country... The pictured motorcycle is a 250cc single-cylinder with unit construction of the engine and gearbox. The bike shown is a 1947. "___________was founded in 1932 in Milan and by 1939 had a wide range of models and ranked with Benelli, Gilera & Moto Guzzi as a major manufacturer. They won 5 gold medals at the 1939 ISDT. During the war they produced motorcycles for the army then switched back to civilian models in 1946."

Prairiehammer Posted February 10, 2014 #146 Posted February 10, 2014 Riedel Imme. "Built from 1948-51 the Imme was a novel and advanced 100cc two-stroke single designed by Norbert Riedel. the wheels were mounted on stub axles allowing a single sided swing-arm and front forks. the swingarm doubled as the exhaust pipe. A primitive rubber-sprung suspension system was used. A 150cc twin was also built in limited numbers."
syscrusher Posted February 11, 2014 #147 Posted February 11, 2014 Riedel Imme. "Built from 1948-51 the Imme was a novel and advanced 100cc two-stroke single designed by Norbert Riedel. the wheels were mounted on stub axles allowing a single sided swing-arm and front forks. the swingarm doubled as the exhaust pipe. A primitive rubber-sprung suspension system was used. A 150cc twin was also built in limited numbers." The transmission had three speeds with no neutral position; a mechanism held the clutch open when the motorcycle was at idle in first gear. First gear was positioned in the middle of the shift pattern, with second gear below and third gear above.[/url] The engine and transmission were mounted together on the swingarm in front of the pivot axle at the bottom of the spine frame. The near-horizontal engine and transmission together as a unit formed a "power egg" style which would later be used by Benelli and Motobi. The tubular swingarm also served as the exhaust pipe. Behind the pivot axle, the swingarm, the reinforced rear fender, and the supports for the rear carrier formed a triangular structure which supported the rear spring. This suspension system allowed a long suspension travel and a soft spring rate. Test rides on the complete prototype began in December 1947 and showed that the combination of long travel and soft springs needed damping. Friction dampers were added. So the only thing holding the rear wheel on was slowly (or maybe not so slowly) being rotted away by the exhaust gas passing through it?
hell yea Posted February 11, 2014 Author #148 Posted February 11, 2014 well dun will have to find sum harder ones for you lol so whats the next mystery bike ? you gota leave one if you guess one
