Wow, Mordechai, that was awesome!! I love that that bike looks like it just rolled out of a barn after 90 years of storage! And those accessories! I have never seen that 'tandem attachment' before. Thanks for posting that, it went right into my favorites!  8) ;)

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

 Is it  a Barry bike from Ontario..? the one that went up to the 90+k range in an ebay auction and did not meet reserve.

 Rumoured to be the most original 13 in existance?/Floorboards are a 14 item, but is considered a period mod..

 Sure glad I still got my 14 twin engine..

Great piece!
What was the rod he kept pushing and pulling---exhaust cutout?

 The exhaust cutout ia operated by a rod under seat on tight hand side..it is a wire wih a loop formed on top end.
 If he is pushing on the tank, he is pumping oil into the motor.

 There is no bearings on the pinion and sprocket shaft...crankpins, I am not sure.. Bushings were still used, low rpms on them.

 Those bikes are incredibly narrow..
