1936 Henderson at the Rhinebeck Grand National Meet

the newly restored bike was unveiled at the Rhinebeck Grand National Meet. The bike belongs to Frank Westfall from Syracuse, NY. According to some info I found online, the bike was originally built by O. Ray Courtney in 1936 and is based on a 1930 K.J Henderson.

I read somewhere in the post that the gauges were from a Pierce Arrow

Thanks to Chris (of http://chrisoncars.com/ ) for letting me know about this cool bike!

These two guys are good friends and were racing each other all afternoon

Notice who is smiling?

And looking back at his friend?

That's because this guy isn't ready to race. Killed it at the start line after getting a little squirrely with the burn out.

And the smiling guy was frequently seen looking back over his shoulder to mock his slow freind. When in front by a long shot at the finish line, it's customary to look back disparagingly and mock the slow poke.. just a little.
