Very well done. The pictures of Floyd Emde hill climbing were fantastic.

[@ArchiveMoto]

Thanks, I feel he needs some more glory than his infamous backflip so he will be featured again in the final part of this series on AMA Class C

[@RKA1951]

Floyd's win at Daytona in 1948 was the last beach win there on an Indian. I was told that he really wasn't an active hill climber.@@ArchiveMoto
