Motorcycle fiends

Description: Fourteen men pose with their motorcycles on a snowy Main Street during the winter of 1916. An interesting article from the April 23, 1914 Ellensburg Capital newspaper (page 3) reported, "The motorcycle fiends are still finding enjoyment in riding their machines up the precipice at the east end of Fourth Street. As their antics can be observed clear from Pearl Street, they generally play to large and attentive audiences."
