Have a look at this fantastic vintage motorcycle pic of Carriker and Crowl Motorcycles shop back in 1916.
The photographer has taken a guess at the motorcycle types, saying they’re an Indian Powerplus Model F.
He says:The three motorcycles in the photo are definitely Indians.
My guess is that they are the 1916 Indian Powerplus Model F.
(Note the springs hanging down under the seats.
) These motorcycles would have been painted dark red.
1916 was the first year the Powerplus was made.
It had a 61-cubic-inch (998 cc) flat-head, side-valve, v-twin engine.
They had three-speed, hand-shifted transmissions with foot-operated clutches (suicide clutch) and were chain driven.
(Most motorcycles were belt-driven then.
) They had acetylene lighting.
(I’m not sure when electric lighting became an option.
The headlight housings don’t look like other acetylene housings I’ve seen.
) Production ran for 9 years.
