1915 Harley Davidson looks alot like your great grandpas.

Yes ! Those are cool. The second was painted black over the decals. HD Is offset and the double line pinstriping. The lines are rounded on the tank near the handle bars. (xray vision) lol.. My guess. The first is around 1914 and the second has the box on the tank . That started in 1924. Could be military as well.

If interested, American Iron magazine likes to print pictures of old photos of people on bikes. Historical images.

First one looks like a Power Plus Indian , second two are J or Jd Harleys. Nice Bikes but Indian was and still is the best! "You can't wear out and Indian Scout or its brother the Indian Chief. They are built like rocks to take hard knocks. It's the Harleys that give all the Grief"
