The Deeley Motorcycle Exhibition in Vancouver, B.C. has rotated its collection on the theme of the history of American motorcycling. Of course there's a predominance of the famous Harley-Davidson brand, but plenty of historic Indians too. Then there are the less well-known Excelsior, Henderson and Pierce. In addition, there are evolutionary deadends, like the attempts at steam-powered bikes. A wonderful collection and beautifully displayed.

The Deeley folks welcomed me back for another photo expedition in April 2011. I shot in color with a digital camera and B&W with a medium format film camera. They're posted here as color and B&W pairs. Incidently, just after this shoot I found that Kodak has stopped production of the B&W film that I used here. In fact, the rolls that I used were right at their expiration date. Little did I know how "expired" they were. At least my experience with the beloved TriX 320 ended on the most positive note.

The first eight views in the gallery now have photos from 2021 when I got access to an important 1916 Harley-Davidson model, the 16F. I found this at Cycle Barn at Smokey Point when I went in for a new tire. All the rest are from the Deeley Exhibition.
