Brooklyn Motorcycle History

though the content of this sort of post isnt typically what we have on this blog, im going to leave it, as it sounds interesting, and the photo is nice.

"cycles past", i urge you, though, to make this a two-way street, and share more of your findings (or information/photos) you already have with us here. making an interesting post with lots of photos and information will probably do more to attract interested parties that have something to offer than a simple request for information from them...

thanks for posting, though! i, for one, would like to see/know more about the oldschool brooklyn motorcycle scene, myself...

you've probably already checked the new york times archives (free access with signup), but if not it has about 70 hits for "federation of american motorcyclists", with lots of articles from that time period.
