Pipeline Rider - This photo from the mid 1910’s shows motorcyclist Johnny Hogg and his wife riding on an aqueduct pipeline with a Harley-Davidson sidecar rig. The pipeline ran about 15 miles through Los Angeles’ Mint Canyon. Mere days after this stunt was completed, another daring rider on a solo machine attempted the same stunt and found himself in the hospital.

“A typical French small-track racer of 1902 with many interesting features. The ornament on the rider’s waistcoat is the oiling system.” Also note the ignition coil on the steering head, the rocket-like fuel tank on the other side of the steering head, and the copious cylinder head finning (and none on the barrel). From James Sheldon’s ‘Veteran and Vintage Motorcycles’ (Transport Bookman, 1961),
