I was rummaging through some very old photos and documents today. My father's birth certificate reads "Robert Lindy Poulsen". On all his U.S Marine documents it was changed to Robert Linde Poulsen. I'm going to guess that he did that because either the birth certificate was wrong, or he thought Lindy was girlish.
Here are a couple photos of him. I think he is under 18 in the first one (driver), which would make it about 1943 in Metuchen NJ.
I would love to have that bike right now Bob.
It's Harley Davidson with what appears to be the flathead motor. Can't quite fully see the heads in the pic. The gas tank puts it in the 1940's. That emblem was used 1940-1946.
Here is a classic re-post of my friend and member of this site, Y-Buc Bill, crossing the Sleeper on essentially the same bike back when men were men !
Sorry for the hijack.

That photo of Bill is a classic. I love it. I have a tickle in my memory that says the photo was taken about here. Did we ever find out?
Bob, the crossing was about here.

Bill remembers it being within the old lake bed from the earlier damming of the Batsto and Mullica. There is a beautiful bridge built by Meteor MC there now. Unfortunately it was uplifted and twisted badly and rendered unusable by ice about two years ago.

How did you know my nickname was Alfie?Your Grandpop was named Alfie Manumuskin?
Sorry Al, cabin fever here. I am Ed the third but somewhere someone changed it to 3D, it's every where now.
You always have to keep some skepticism when looking at documents and even maps. Even when you find what you think corroborates your find it could just be a repeated mistake. I have seen this in NJ Topos.
