Antique Motorcycle Ads Gallery - Part 1
By Walter F. Kern
See how motorcycles were once advertised
It's informative to look back at how motorcycle manufacturers advertised their motorcycles in the early years of motorcycles. There was no TV or Internet. Mainly there was radio, print advertising, and possible ads in the theaters before the main features played.
So sit back and enjoy these antique advertisements of motorcycles. We're starting off with some ads as provided by forum member, MadMichael.
