Reading Standard OHC racer.

Cyclone derived OHC Reading Standard race bike.  Not sure if I would rather have this or the Excelsior OHC.  This is a much better looking bike.

Branded American these bikes were actually built by Thiem.  The company that eventually became Cyclone.

1912 or 13 Thiem.

The Joerns-Thiem company made bikes for Sears and American.  In 1912 and 13 they sold bikes under the Thiem name.  After 1913 they marketed a new model under the name Cyclone.  The overhead cam Cyclones have become the most sought after motorcycles on the planet.

1914 Cyclone stolen in Bel Air California.



Keep your eyes open for this ultra rare bike. I read somewhere that only 9 exist and at least one is the street version. It sounds like the crooks knew what they wanted. They only took the Cyclone and a 1950s Honda race bike. Hopefully they don't end up in some rich DB's collection never to be seen again. These bikes are akin to a national treasure. Way advanced for there time and just plain beautiful to look at. Hopefully both bikes are recovered without a scratch.
