EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the spirit of adventure and family bonding as a family of five, dressed in period attire, confidently ride a 1917/18 Indian Powerplus motorcycle and sidecar combination. The motorcycle, with its distinctive Indian head emblem, is a testament to the engineering marvels of the early 20th century. The Powerplus model was known for its powerful engine, making it an ideal choice for transporting a family. The mother, elegantly dressed in a long skirt, blouse, and a hairnet to keep her hair in place, sits in the sidecar, holding onto her baby in a cozy cap. Her husband, wearing a flat cap and a suit, skillfully maneuvers the motorcycle, while their three children, two boys and a girl, sit securely on the motorcycle seat behind them. The boys wear caps and knitted sweaters, while the little girl wears a dress and a hair bow. The registration number MC 2840 is clearly visible on the motorcycle, adding to the authenticity of the scene. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of a family outing during a time when motorcycles were a novel mode of transport and the thrill of the open road was a shared experience. This photograph is a treasure trove of history, transporting us back in time to an era of simplicity, adventure, and family values.
