Floyd Clymer motorcycles.
These days Floyd Clymer is more known for his automotive and motorcycle books and magazines, which he published from 1944 till his death in 1970. He also sold cars and motorcycles throughout his life, starting a REO,Maxwell and Cadillac dealership at the age of 10! This ad from 1933 lists several makes of British racing motorcycles which he sold from his Indian dealership. In the late sixties, he made attempts to rejuvenate the Indian name selling bikes that used Velocette and Royal Enfield engines.
While I'd have to say Mr. Clymer is of "the old school", he was always on the forefront of cycling and automotive developments in his day. I subscribed to his 'Motor Cycle' (usually know as just 'Cycle') magazine for many years. RIP Floyd.
