Chained lightning

What we can determine from the limited information available about this motorcycling relic on display at Rhinebeck is that it’s a hillclimb bike from the ancient past. The chain explains that – even in upstate New York, nobody rides a motorcycle in the snow.

Apart from that, I admit that I’m stumped, other than to state the obvious fact that it’s an apparently American V-twin, and took its name from a long-gone brand of lubricant that was trademarked with absolutely no consideration of political correctness. You’re the Hemmings Nation. What can you tell us about this cycle?
