We get a lot of interesting mail from readers, and especially interesting are the vintage photos of bikes and their riders people send our way. Sometimes the subject is known, and othertimes not, as is the case with this classic shot sent in by reader Jim Naftel, of Birmingham, Ala.

Jim writes: “I love your magazine, especially the new format. I’ve been a subscriber for about two years now and bought the magazine off the newsstand before that. I am attaching a photograph I found recently in one of my father’s photo albums. The legend says, ‘Great Uncle John Lystul’s motorcycle shop in Eugene, Oregon before World War I.’ 

“I know nothing else about it, and everyone in the family who could have provided details has passed away. I’ve searched the Internet for information but I have come up short. I thought I would send it in to Motorcycle Classics. Perhaps someone out there might have some insight and pass it along.”

Do you have any information about John Lystul or his Eugene, Ore., Indian motorcycle dealership? If so, please e-mail us here at editor@motorcycleclassics.com, and we’ll share the info with our curious reader.
