Roper’s Steam Motorcycle
Longtime President of the Antique Motorcycle Club of America (and current president of the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group), Pete Gagan is an author (The Legend of Fireball Fleming), antique motorcycle enthusiast, tinkerer, and historian of sorts.
From this video it seems like Pete is someone whose hobby has become a way of life. His passion for the two-wheeled vehicle is shared with viewers through storytelling and contagious enthusiasm. Gagan has definitely done his homework; historical stories of steam technology and life-and-death drama are all covered in this fantastic showing of Roper’s 1896 Steam Powered Motorcycle.
This walk through turn-or-the-century motorcycle history is truly compelling.
