In a New York City post office, a WW2 monument and tribute.. and a postal delivery bike
strange that it's front tire was a smaller size than the back, but had to be in order to accomodate the big basket
Found on http://www.amusingplanet.com/2011/05/dirk-skrebers-car-crash-sculptures.html where the painting behind the WW2 monument is discussed, it's an art deco piece titled Manhattan Skyline, painted by artist Louis Lozowick at the height of the art deco movement as a Works Project Administration commission. It's 18 feet tall, and in the Farley post office on 8th Ave.

Some cool, some unusual, a couple Hollywood stars even... all with motorcycles, bicycles, brass era cars too. Even a photo of Bonneville
Those wonderful 3 Stooges, the bike is a Crocker Scoutabout 1941
This is something I've never seen
Notice the old spelling of "Authorised" and the Zephyr V12
Halfway from the original sidecars that were designed to be riden in, to the flat pads that are used for racing
The above pennyfarthing has that unusual design of the Star Safety http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/08/racer-a-zimmerman-and-his-star-safety.html , and is in clear contrast to the below common design
1930 Bohmerland 600
someone really wants that motorcycle in the country
The first big dog motorcycle?
1910, the first chopper? Probably
Canoe sidecar
A dual rear mount sidecar
Charles Lindbergh on an Excelsior
English tricar
How long do you suppose he had those stupid handlebars before someone laughed at him?
Fire truck... not the first I've posted, but the better of the two
