There's old school, and there's REAL old school.....
« on: July 25, 2018, 07:03:27 PM »
Going through some old photo albums today, found this picture of my grandfather on his 1920's 4 cylinder Militor sidecar rig. Not sure when the picture was taken, I'm guessing late 20's or early 30's. Not sure who the passenger is in the hack. Love this photo!

This is a great Sepia photograph.  This need to be stored in the proper way.  It's not expensive.   Amazon has Musium quality, acid free Archival boxes for storage of these valuable and very unstable photos.  If you care about them,  take the time to protect them now.

The sidehack resembles Indian side cars from the 40s, but I could be wrong. Great photo by the way..
 Most 20s and 30 hacks had a different look.
 It does lack the seam on the Indian hack but us similar.

Frank, the Militor came from the factory with that sidecar rig. Militor went out of business in 1922 and this was one of their final models. I have included a couple of photos of the bikes. The color photo is one that I took at the Springfield Museum in Mass., also home of the Indian museum. Militor was made in Springfield, very near to the Indian factory. Maybe they shared the same sidecar parts?

The B&W photo shows the bike and sidecar as it came from the Militor factory.

My dad was born in 1933, the photo of my grandfather was taken at that time or earlier so it's definitely not a 1940's rig.

I'm riding Chicago again this year. I was checking out the current fundraising totals today, London is kicking ass, 50% more than the next highest city and I believe the highest overall average per rider.
