Thanks Roy
Photo taken in March 1947 in Berwyn, Illinois. I was 13. The Marman did not have an ignition switch. The engine was shut down by bringing it to idle and popping the clutch. I didn't like that setup so my dad showed me how to split the sparkplug wires & run them thru the toggle switch. Note on the right side of the bike above my knee there is a chrome cover for the ignition points. Right above that cover is a black bracket with a toggle switch. Once I left the bike at the dealer for service and he called me up a few hours later angry as hell because he couldn't get the bike started. I forgot to tell him about the switch! Note the straight handlebars that style was not very common. Don Dickey
