macfred, that is very old, looks like no front brake, interchangeable wheels, very interesting tractor type of seat popular pre WWII. 1930's?

Probably the most powerful thing on that motorcycle, would be the seat spring!

What is it, do you know?

Sorry Mick, I know absolutely nothing about this vehicle. I discovered it in a tiny (fishing) harbor on the IJsselmeer in the Netherlands. There was a note attached to one of the saddlebags: Going fishing for a week - regards Rob ...

Hey everybody, thanks for all of the submissions!

I'm taking a cue from @chuckroast and would like to highlight one from the old category and one from the new. For the old category we have @macfred and his Moto. Macfred consistently offers clean and interesting compositions paired with expert exposure and processing. I could have chosen any of his images from this thread but the Moto is my fave.

Do we have a Moto ? Old one.

Rolleiflex 3.5F - Planar - Neopan 400CN

And this month's grand prize winner from the "new" category is @Wolfram Malukker and his shade tree mechanic shot. We have the Jeep with a hanging engine block, assembly lube, brake cleaner, and a big ol' hammer for persuasion if needed. Bonus points are awarded if the the block is being held up by a limb on that tree. Plenty of power on display here.

Those are great engines btw and nearly bulletproof. I've always wondered why the engineers made the decision to have intake and exhaust on the same side of the engine. Anyone know?

Congrats to Wolfram, who now holds the MSA torch. We'll look forward to our August assignment!

Perhaps a Harley Davidson WLA, a WWII motorcycle.

Congratulations to @macfred and @Wolfram Malukker
