The Motorcycle Illustrated

Excerpt from The Motorcycle Illustrated, Vol. 3: Devoted to the Development of Motorcycling in America; January, 1908 The fact that winter is here for its annual visit is no reason why the enthusiastic rider should lay up his machine and wait for spring again. There often come days when the rider whose machine is laid up regrets the fact. A ride through the parks of the big cities is to be greatly enjoyed if the rider is dressed warmly. And the only drawback is the constant fear of sideslip. Even this bugbear may be eliminated to a great extent by care on the part of the rider as to his riding and the selection and equipment of his mount.
