I do love the"geared" speedo coming off the front wheel. Guess it was quite a popular scoot and fast for it's day. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_State_Route_79

Guess it was quite a popular scoot and fast for it's day. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_State_Route_79 My Dad use to say that even a half wit can be right half the time David .... I only knew what it was because I redid an early Indian that was sprocket driven speedoed off the rear wheel and I LOVED that scoot = partially because of exactly what we are speaking of.. A fews years later I was out east CTFW doing some exploring for coal mines and ran across the Glen Curtiss museum in New York.. Taking a break a stopped in and WOWZY am I glad I did.. That museum is more of a "Chicago Museum of Science and Industry for gear heads type of joint in that it is/was TOTALLY hands on AND, Glen Curtiss was WAYYYY into building early scoots (Henderson being one) and they had a bike just like the one you showed me the pic of there and I was TOTALLY takin by that front end (I know,, its a flaw but its me).. THANK YOU for letting me know that I "Nailed it" though = keeps me that havent lost ALL my marbles,, yet:big-grin-emoticon: Hard to miss the Henderson motorcycle, but Puc knows them all. Hey Puc ever seen a Mammoth? Absolutely, positively, no doubt about it = NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like you said = those Henderson's are an easy ID for most folks but them and their style are about as good at this as I will get - I am strickly a wanna be.. I did google that one out of curiousity though Sly and,, DEFINITLY aint never did see nuttin like that before!! Says it was an "NSU" powered scoot though.. Now NSU = you betcha!! One of my best friends in High School had an early model NSU that we used to beat the living day lights out of.. It was a two lung outfit with a great big gorgeous headlight on it that looked like something off a Stutz Bearcat (all told my buddy that = like I even had a clue what a Stutz Bearcat was).. Ya got me on that one brother!!!
