Wheels of the Week: Steelman’s 1913 Dayton motorcycle

09 Feb 2013

Details: Category: Oldtimers; Written by Dayton Daily News; Hits: 103

The maroon, 1913 motorcycle is pretty much original, and it shows the patina of 100 years. And while it doesn’t shine, it literally reeks of a day gone by, with wide handlebars, a single bicycle style seat and big tires that were once white, now yellowed with age. READ ON
