The best years for motorcycles were the 30's, Look at the art deco designs
of the Indians, Hendersons and especially the Crocker's. Harleys were drab
to the Indians which needed the sales. Dupont owned them during that time so
the colors were unmatched...Sorry it's the 30's for the cars too for the
same reason. How could the same decade bring us the "deuce", 32 Ford and the
Cord with it's great aero design. Again art deco at it's finest. How about
the Dusenberg thrown in too. How could it have been better.
While I'm at it the airplanes of the 30's were awesome. With Ryan, Stinson,
etc with those radials....Damn that was the best for them too.
Now how did I come out of this with a 39 Indian Sport Scout and a past
ownership of a 1938 Ryan SCW..(look one up and tell me that it's not the
prettiest private plane you ever saw). Guess I'm just
prejudice...................JD
