Clara Mayer and Adline VanVlanderen pose with their motorcycles in the 1940s and in 2003 when they returned to recreate the photo in Cudahy, Wisconsin.
I don’t have any more back story to the photo, however the original 1940s image appears in the HD museum available as a print. One can imagine these two lovely ladies reuniting after twenty odd years and comparing their new bikes to the old.
On Monday, I crashed my Monster at about 50mph. I suffered road rash on my hip and lots of bruising- and Pandora has flesh wounds of her own. Here’s what exactly happened, and the lowdown on the gear that saved my life.

20 odd years? More like 50 odd years! Awesome photos.
awesome!
Oooh gotta love that vintage pic! It’s got this whole … Anne Bannon “Beebo Brinker” vibe to it!
What’s this about them re-uniting? Can’t we imagine that they’d lived together that entire time, instead? Please don’t pop my bubble.
