EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of adventure and innovation during the early days of motorcycle transportation. Taken circa 1908, the image features a family of three proudly posing for the camera on a 1907/8 Matchless motorcycle and sidecar combination. The father, dressed in a tailored suit and hat, confidently sits at the helm, while his wife, elegantly attired in a long dress and hat, holds on to him tightly. Their young son, dressed in a knitted sweater and cap, sits comfortably in the sidecar, gazing curiously at the world passing by. The Matchless motorcycle, a popular choice among early motorcyclists, was known for its reliability and performance. The registration number "HK 86" is clearly visible on the motorcycle's front fender, adding to the vintage charm of the image. The sidecar, a practical addition to the motorcycle, allowed families to travel together and transport their belongings with ease. The fashionable attire of the family members reflects the period style of the time, with the women wearing high-collared dresses and hats, and the men in tailored suits and hats. The image is a testament to the growing popularity of motorcycles as a mode of transportation and the sense of freedom and excitement they offered to families during the early 20th century. This photograph is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing a moment in time when motorcycles were a symbol of progress and adventure. It is a reminder of the enduring appeal of the open road and the joy of traveling together as a family.
