If there's one started, please forgive a noob. I used to like to hill climb in my youth and was always fascinated by big bore hill climbers. If anybody has some pics tucked away, I'd love to see them.

these are all I could find. Good idea for a pic thread. they still were hill climbing here in Ohio, Cloverleaf speedway down in the valley by the canal. I think up until early 70's.

I posted the original post from work and couldn't see the pics posted. Most of them anyway, must be motorcycle porn. Anyway, I love these pics! Man these guys had stones. (At least for a while, may have lost them.) I think I remember a few of them. Great stuff.
Here's an image of a restored 1929 Excelsior 'Super X' Hill Climber:

I'm 52 and gripe if I hit a patch in the road. Can you immagine what a ride you'd get on one of these things? Hard tail, way heavy for off road, even the tires were not what we're used to. Sit down, say prayers, and hang on.
in a later period
