  1. Great picture but it doesn't look like that bike will go too far without heads!

  2. he was a mechanic, hence the state of disassembly. you can see the gas tank on the crate behind him too.

  4. Fighting the Hun in Africa?
    He's clearly such a badass, he doesn't need heads to run.

  5. north african campaign, followed by the allied invasions of sicily and naples. my grandfather has a lot of pictures, he gave me this one the other day because it had a bike in it. my other great uncle, j. zenon labrie apparently procured two of those indian scouts after the war. no one knows where they went.
