Steampunk Holmes would have this ride, and it's Called the Black Widow, from artist Mikky Solifague

After being inspired by the recent Sherlock Holmes movie starring Robert Downey Jr, as well as the William Gibson and Bruce Sterling novel “The Difference Engine“, Richard Monson-Haefel decided that Sherlock Holmes was the perfect character to go steampunk- and that Victorian-era mysteries would make for rich storytelling.

 Richard is assembling a diverse team of designers, artists, and writers to produce the work. Scouring the web for inspiration, he came across this unique motorcycle design and felt it was a perfect fit for his character. He contacted Moscow-based designer Mikky Solifague of Solifague Design, http://solifdesign.blogspot.com/ who produced the design in 2007

Motorcycles, sidecars and an Indian Servicar

 1916 Oregon plates on the front

 Cool oil sumps on the island

 All optioned up

 First time I've seen an Indian Servicar, but also interesting is the Packard Service sign's shape

 1924 police, and interesting sidecar windshield

1926 Batimore taxi. Pretty cool, but I think history demonstrates this didn't work out

Some cool, some unusual, a couple Hollywood stars even... all with motorcycles, bicycles, brass era cars too. Even a photo of Bonneville

Those wonderful 3 Stooges, the bike is a Crocker Scoutabout 1941

This is something I've never seen

Notice the old spelling of "Authorised"  and the Zephyr V12

Halfway from the original sidecars that were designed to be riden in, to the flat pads that are used for racing

The above pennyfarthing has that unusual design of the Star Safety http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/08/racer-a-zimmerman-and-his-star-safety.html , and is in clear contrast to the below common design

1930 Bohmerland 600

someone really wants that motorcycle in the country

The first big dog motorcycle?

1910, the first chopper? Probably

Canoe sidecar

A dual rear mount sidecar

Charles Lindbergh on an Excelsior

English tricar

How long do you suppose he had those stupid handlebars before someone laughed at him?

Fire truck... not the first I've posted, but the better of the two
