The "Meyer-Sparough"-bike


This bike was sold in 1905 to Henry Meyer. This Photograph was made in 1912 by H-D-Photographer  L.C. Rosenkrans.
The bike showed several modifications:
later style fenders, replacement fork, different wheels, handle bar and battery box.
During 1912-1913 the bike was publicized
 in H-D literature as being the first Harley-Davidson Motorcycle ever built,
and up to that point had been ridden
 nearly 100.000 miles.
