Looks like a Boxer? So BMW?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #3 on:** August 20, 2010, 05:42:53 AM »

Not a BMW.

Well, I could imagine then it could be many more that are based on it. But let's start with basics then. German bike?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #5 on:** August 20, 2010, 06:21:49 AM »

Not German.

This brand is not usually though of as a motorcycle manufacturer.

DeAutogids · « **Reply #6 on:** August 20, 2010, 07:41:49 AM »

Peugeot is also often forgotten to have produced motor cycles, though relatively known for it. So it is a rather difficult to place tip.

You said it is not German. It looks military though.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #7 on:** August 20, 2010, 07:43:24 AM »

There is a military connection. Not French, however.

DeAutogids · « **Reply #8 on:** August 20, 2010, 08:04:18 AM »

Austrian maybe?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #9 on:** August 20, 2010, 09:54:17 AM »

No sir.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #11 on:** August 20, 2010, 10:49:07 AM »

Go west, young man!

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #13 on:** August 20, 2010, 11:47:23 AM »

Is it build by an aircraft manufacturer ?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #15 on:** August 22, 2010, 04:17:22 AM »

This company did not build aircraft. The founder and president of the company was, however, an avid pilot.

you obviousely blurred some cars in the backgrund of the pic. So, is it from a US car manufacturer?

Hey, this is Paul Gorrell's 2 cylinder Crosley Motorcycle prototype.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #19 on:** August 30, 2010, 10:03:01 AM »

I don't know who Paul Gorrell is, but you are correct. One of three prototypes (if you don't count three wheelers) built by automobile / radio / appliance manufacturer Crosley; each had a different drive and rear suspension configuration.

Allemano · « **Reply #20 on:** August 30, 2010, 02:34:28 PM »

I took the picture from a site where Paul Gorrel is mentioned as the current owner I reckon..
