The First Motorcycle to cross the United States

George Wyman made the first transcontinental trip across the United States on any motor vehicle of any kind. He did so on a 1902 California Motorcycle that made roughly 1.5 horsepower. Through the desert and over mountains, pushing pulling and sometimes riding it, he made the 3800 mile trip in 50 days. This is the complete story.
If you'd like to read it from his own perspective check out the 5 part article written in the Motorcycle Magazine in 1903:

This makes me wish there was a “slow road” across America where you could ride tractors, lawnmower and other slow vehicles across the country all through back roads at your own pace.

In Europe there is the "Trans Euro Trail" which is exactly that, all dirt roads across 35 countries to make the journey at another pace, this is aimed at motorcyclist but I'm sure you can find something similar in the US. (KZfaq won't let me post a link but you can google it fairly easily)

Yeah mine is a Motobécane Poney AG1 and it's basically a bicycle with a motor attached to it, I saved it from an old farm where it had been sitting outside for decades, vines and plants had grown inside and around it, it was like in a cocoon when I got it. It's not worth much historically and even less monetarily but I think any piece of motor vehicule is better saved than crushed so it's in the slow process of a full restauration to take it back from the grave. Bonne route et bon vent to you too !

@@Begmar01 That's a fantastic story and I agree, all machines that can be should be saved! Project motorcycles can be expensive or frustrating but the owner forms such a deep bond with the bike and starts to love it so much that we do anything to have it working and looking good. That's how I am with the Jawa, it's not very valuable but to me it's still very special. A machine you form a bond with makes every journey memorable! I hope you will cover many miles on the bike and have fun with it! I looked it up and it's a beautiful little machine!

When I was younger I went to every state and most of canada and alaska in a pick up and camper shell. Also around the world twice with a dahon folder with clamp on back pack with rack. I rode it to Moscow, Finland, East Germany 1990, broke frame in Budapest went to body shop and used there welder, got flat tire in HK and shop wiggled the tube out and used old hot patch with flame to fix, rode it to Sydney Aus to opera house while working on a ship , rode it to Hamburg and took pic of prosti in window and they chased after me.

Rode from dfw to southwest florida at the start of this year, only had been riding a proper motorcycle for less than two weeks. My dad had died and I felt that the trip was simply something I had to do. I wasnt sure I could handle it, but I did it. it was 18 F when I left and didnt raise above freezing until well past the half way point. I had never been so cold in my life. I wasnt able to churn out as many miles as I had thought, only managing a 300ish a day, and the gas tank felt so small I was filling up every 60 or so miles, but at no point, was I worried about the bike. Definitely a trip I'll remember, even if I was traveling through my least favourite part of america.

Somebody may have commented this before, but an oil cup is a little sight glass that you fill with oil and so you can see when it is empty. Motorcycles of that era were total loss they lubricated and then the oil is vaporized with the fuel or dripped out onto the ground as you rode. So it was important to have them constantly refilled. Often there would be multiple one you might say have an oil cup that located the bearing on your front wheel another one for your piston and another one for your back wheel. And they might have some kind of little valve to adjust the rate at which the oil dripped. Or possibly you would put in a piece of cork or felt that would slow down the rate of drip and it's the thing you would constantly be trying to fine tune. Basically anytime you stopped or filled up he would want to top off all your oil and see if the consumption rate was appropriate.

@tedecker3792 Жыл бұрын

The glass is so you how fast the oil was dripping into the motor. You could reduce the drip rate on downhills, and increase it on climbs. Those early bikes had constant loss oil systems, what ever oil you put in was either burned or dripped out on the road. Some motorcyclists would say that described British bikes until the 1970s!

The truth is, making a trip like that on such a vehicle would have been much EASIER back then than it is now. Today you wouldn't get very far before being killed by an idiot in a car going near 100 mph. Back then that would not have been an issue. I have often dreamed about crossing the country on a moped or small scooter with a top speed of maybe 30 mph, which would be 100 times more reliable than motorcycles were back then. It really can't be done. Our entire country has become a huge race track, and it is no longer possible to ride or drive a slow moving vehicle anywhere but a school zone or residential area, and idiots in cars are now speeding in those areas too.
