EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Roaring Twenties, as a young man proudly poses on his 1921/22 Rex-Acme motorcycle. The motorcycle, with its distinctive JAP (J.A.P. and Co. Ltd.) engine, was a popular choice among motorcyclists during this era. The bike's sleek design, featuring high handlebars, large fuel tank, and wire-spoked wheels, exudes an undeniable sense of style and sophistication. The young man, dressed in fashionable attire of the time, adds to the period ambiance of the scene. His leather helmet and goggles, worn to protect him from the wind and debris on the open road, complete his dashing appearance. The motorcycle's registration number, K H 2378, can be seen on the license plate, providing a tangible connection to the past. The image also showcases the intricate details of the motorcycle's mechanics, such as the exposed chain and drive system, which were a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The motorcycle's forks, with their simple yet effective design, allowed for a smooth and stable ride. This photograph not only transports us back to the 1920s but also highlights the sense of freedom and adventure that came with owning and riding a motorcycle during this era. The young man's confident pose and the powerful machine beneath him encapsulate the spirit of the Roaring Twenties, making this a truly captivating and iconic image.
