I'm going to start posting up a few pics I have of the local motorcycling scene throughout the 1930s-1950s. These pics all come from my buddy Ralph Gerkins family scrap album. His dad and mom were Jimmy and Frances Gerkins. Jimmy was a German immigrant who opened up Ace Delivery Service in Lexington KY with 5 sidecars and two trucks. The second pic shows the back lot facing the shop. I have some more of the shop front I'll post up later. Besides being Ace Delivery, they also sold and serviced Hardly Abelsons and Injuns. Jimmy and his buddies were also involved in local flat track, TT, and hill climb races. There's over 400 images so sheck back for more to come.
