I have been on a similar ride with family and with Steven, our son, when we made a fly in trip to Bryce Canyon. The scenery through Bryce Canyon is breath taking. I have watched this slide show several times and I am still awed by the beauty of the country. Living in this part of the country is only what others wish for. As a bonus I have made a video with music and some sound effects, so just sit back and enjoy the scenery. The video is 20 minutes long. Bryce and Page AZ

trademark: Megola
type: 640 cc racer
year of manufacture: 1923
country of origin: Germany
The twenties were very interesting times in the development of vehicles, and also of motorcycles. The most important was technical development rather than marketing. One of the most remarkable designs comes from Friz Cockerel, who designed a motorcycle between 1921 and 1925 which has the engine in the front wheel. This was the Megola, of which about 2000 were sold.
The 5 cylinder star-engine was mounted in the front wheel, and the wheel turned around six times slower than the crankshaft did. It has only one carburetteur. The Megola doesn’t have a clutch, so it has to be push started.
Specifications: Rotating 4 stroke, 5 cylinders in the front wheel, magneto ignition, 640 cc (52 x 60 mm), 14 HP at 5000 rpm, no gears, 2 drum brakes on the back wheel, tank 14.7 litres, maximum speed 143 km/h.
