What were me and George riding?
Most importantly, George…was on a 1902 California Motor Company 200cc 1 1/4hp machine, as you can see by the poster, the 1903 got a 1/4hp increase
Throughout his articles, he states a few times that the bike has 1 1/4hp so we have to presume he is stating a fact, but everywhere else I researched it shows 1 1/2hp, but also shows the 1903 model.
I know 1/4hp sounds like a nominal difference, but it’s not really, it’s a 20% increase…you’d like a 20% increase in power on your bike…right, especially if you were riding coast to coast?
****Note wooden rims!****
I was on my 2021 T7, kinda boring in comparison
