Baker Bikers: 1941
July 1941. "Motorcycle racers, Fourth of July, Vale, Oregon." Members of the Baker Motorcycle Club, last seen here. 35mm acetate negative by Russell Lee. View full size.
A piercing Schreeck
In the far lower left corner, we see a mudguard banner with the words "Schreeck / er, Oreg." There are very few Schreecks anywhere; this one would seem to be Fred Schreeck Jr. of Baker (1920-2009). From the little I found, he was a farmer in Baker County; his father ran the local ice plant and cold-storage company.
Massive handlebar
May it be to do stunts? or just for fun?
Daredevils
Looks like a break during some kind of performance, based on the climbing rig on the back of the bike and the folks lined up behind the wire fence.
