Barber Vintage Motorsport Museum
George Barber had a serious interest in vintage motorcycles. He recognized that there was no museum that reflects the history of motorcycles around the world. He wanted to preserve motorcycle history in the United States in a way that represents an international aspect and to supply an example of motorcycles that until then could only have been seen in books and magazines.

In 1913 Frank Willoughby Cotton of Gloucester, England designed a unique triangulated motorcycle frame and patented the idea in 1914. Cotton’s frame was stronger than the spindly ‘bicycle’ diamond-type chassis that was in vogue at the time. Cotton enlisted the help of Levis — another British motorcycle maker — to build two samples of his new frame but the First World War intervened and hampered his plans to bring a complete machine to market. It wasn’t until 1919 that the Cotton Motorcycle Company came into existence, and the first Cotton appeared in 1920.

ALSO known as Automobiles Zedel, was first an outfit that built engines for bikes, motorcycles and three wheelers around the turn of the 20th century. They were located in St Aubin, Switzerland on the southwestern end of Neuchatel Lake.

In 1902 they moved their headquarters due west over the boarder into Pontarlier, France. This was done in an effort to limit import duties since the majority of their customers were french companies. It wasn’t until 1906 that they started building their first motorcars.

http://goo.gl/45u5O 1928 Windhoff 750 cc 4 cyl ohc
The machine was powered by a 4 cylinder 750-cc in-line 4-stroke with oil (NOT water)-cooling, a world-wide first.

Brief History of the Marque: Windhoff
Built in Berlin, these quality machines were made from 1924 to 1933 using mostly watercooled Bekamo-licensed two-stroke engines, although there were some very advanced four-stroke designs with four cylinder OHC engines of 750 and 1000cc. There were also sidevalve shaft-drive flat twins, and late in the game some smaller Villiers-licensed two-strokes. Their early two-stroke designs were very successful on the track.

The Killinger and Freund Motorrad ~ Grease n Gasoline

In 1935 a group of five German engineers named Killinger and Freund from Munich started to design a more streamlined and modified version of the German Megola front-wheel drive motorcycle that had won many motorcycle races in the 1920s. The work took three years to complete but the result was impressive. The engine displacement stayed the same as the Megola at 600cc

Neander-1929 Neander P3 1 Grease n Gasoline http://tinyurl.com/d7dxycr  LIKE OUR PG https://www.facebook.com/hydrocarbons ;

. The Neander was the creation of multi-talented Ernst Neumann, who was born in the Prussian city of Kassel – also birthplace of the Brothers Grimm – in 1871. A natural inventor, Neumann built prototype tricycles powered by steam and internal combustion engines before embarking on a career as a commercial artist in Munich and then Paris, where he designed his first motorcycle for the Griffon company. Returning to Germany, Neumann adopted the nomme de plume ‘Neander’, styling motor cars in Berlin before embarking on his career as a motorcycle manufacturer in the early 1920s. Innovatory pressed steel frames, cadmium plated, were a feature of Neander motorcycles (the design would later be licensed to Opel) which were powered by a variety of proprietary engines from the likes of Villiers, JAP, Küchen and MAG, ranging in capacity from 122 to 996cc.

1954 SUNBEAM S7/S8 ~ Grease n Gasoline

The Sunbeam S7 was introduced in 1946 as a ‘Gentleman Tourer’ offering ‘long lasting luxury’. At the time, this constituted a major detour from the then-current clichéd biker image – antisocial attitude clad in black leather. The SUNBEAM S7 was big, intimidating to look at and was offered in a highly glossy enamelled finish in just one colour – black.
