Description: Sixteen unidentified young men help display the type of motorcycles available at the Sniders Cyclery, located next to the Ice Cream shop, in Turlock, California, circa 1920. The light colored machines on the right are possibly either Indian or Thor motorcycles. There is a distinctive cursive stylized name on the gas tank. They may be a type of moped not uncommon at the time. Note what appears to be a bicycle pedal of the far right machine. If one ran out of gas it could be pedaled as a bicycle.
