I wish I was there right now!
I'd be at the counter with a plate or corned beef hash

I have a really good book that lists them all state by state.
Most are to be found in the NE.

This book has a good chapter on building a wheel.

Frankie Drake set.
This was built in an alley in Hamilton Ont.
You can see a DL-1 front wheel on the right.
The interior was built in the studio.
The address in the transom (188) is
a- a lucky number (Chinese)
b- my home address
The set's been torn down since.

A ladies' DL-1 in the bg.
This looks to be the old Carpet Factory on Sherman in Hamilton.
Her motorbike started off as a 350 Enfield from India but
was later switched to a Janus
