Don, thanks for your response but please contact me offline and i can help you. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- That's amazing! You have my curiosity. What kind of machine did you buy and when? Is it possible to obtain a few of your stack of his cards? ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- thought you just might like to see an Original business card of your uncle of which i happen to have a stack , which i acquired when i ended up buying some maschine which was originally sold by your uncle. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Sometime around 1968, my Dad obtained his Uncle Lou's 1931 Henderson after Uncle Lou's death. Uncle Lou was a dealer from Amityville, NY and my Dad lived in North Bellmore, NY. Somewhere around 1976, Dad sold the Henderson. The Henderson had the tank stripped of its' paint and had the AMA colors painted on the sides. The rest of the bike was maroon. It had a buddy seat with the initials LEW (Louis E. Whitson) on the back of it. It also had a windshield, handlebar rail mounted spot lights, front fender rail and mud flaps. From my recollection, I believe it was a KJ. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. I would love to see it, not looking to buy. On another note, Dad also obtained another Henderson from Uncle Lou's estate, a 1924 DeLuxe motor with a 1929 KJ frame. I have this and am in the process of rebuilding it. It's a great project and holds some family history. |
