Here's a real treat:  These photographs were sent by webBikeWorld visitor Kirk Towner, whose Grandfather, Richard T. Towner, Sr. owned the Towner Brothers Motorcycle Shop with his brother in Rochester, New York.  Kirk said that they sold all types of motorcycles during the 1920s and 1930s, including Henderson, Indian, Cleveland and Harley Davidson.   We ran the photos through Photoshop CS2 to remove the tint, clean up some water spots and modify the contrast and exposure slightly, but otherwise these are the full-sized photos that we received.

Note that these photos are courtesy of Kirk R. Towner, grandson of Richard T. Towner Sr.  Copyright © 2007.  All rights reserved.

If anyone has any information regarding the make and model of the motorcycles in these photos or any other information on the Towner Bros. shop, please contact us at
