TIME CAPSULE 1912 FLYING MERKEL TWIN. AS FOUND CONDITION, WE DIDN'T EVEN WIPE IT OFF.BUILT IN MIDLETOWN, OHIO. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER AND COLLECTIBLE MOTORCYCLES IN THE WORLD. YOU CAN PUT THIS MERKEL IN A MUSEUM AS IS, OR RESTORE IT.THIS BIKE WAS FOUND HANGING FROM THE RAFTERS OF AN OLD BARN IN NORTHERN INDIANA BY AN EARLY FARM SEED DEALER. HE BOUGHT THE MERKEL AND IT ENDED UP IN SOUTHERN INDIANA. THE FLYING MERKEL WAS HIDDEN IN A CLOSET FOR MANY DECADES. THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE ROTTEN AND WERE REPLACED WITH THE COKERS MANY YEARS BACK. NEW PLUG WIRES AND PLUGS WERE INSTALLED. THE BIKE WAS CRANKED , IT POPPED AND SPIT AND SPUTTERED AND WAS THEN PUT BACK INTO STORAGE. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE MERKEL HASN'T BEEN RIDDEN IN AROUND 70 YEARS. THE EARLY LEATHER STRAPS ARE STILL ON THE REAR CARRIER. YOU CAN SEE MUCH OF THE ORIGINAL PAINT. IF SOMEONE WIPED THE MERKEL DOWN, I'M SURE THE PAINT WOULD REALLY POP. THE BRASS GAS TANK IS SOLID. WE HAD A KNOWN ANTIQUE MOTORCYCLE COLLECTOR LOOK AT THE BIKE AND HE SAID" YOU DON'T FIND THEM LIKE THIS ANYMORE". WE ARE OPENING THIS UP TO WORLDWIDE BIDDING.
