I got to see this bike and talk to the owner, it was simply called "Grandpa's Motorcycle". A 1930's Snyder, his Grandpa bought it new and later added the Evinrude "Speeribike" motor. He actually had it registered as a motorcycle in Oregon and rode it to fires as a volunteer fireman. Eventually the family moved up to Washington and the bike was put in the basement where it sat for 60 years, Grandpa had coated it with Cosmolite, a wax like rust preventing product. The current owner, Roy, still rides the bike and is trying to decide weather to restore or leave it as-is. Either way, an amazing piece of americana...Enjoy...
PS. The black and white's are family photos from when the bike was new, check out that sidecar!
