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.
Vasilisa Komarova took a dream motorcycle road trip. Camping in Bolivia she was attacked by three men with machetes, raped, and left for dead. “We have to stand up to the abuse and never lose hope.” Read the story and find out how to help.

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.
