Reportedly another view of him. Enough differences that I wonder which version of his bike was first?

If the first picture is the test drive . . . . the second picture has to have been taken first. Being that he was dead and all after the test drive.

On October 3, 1903, 24-year-old General Electric employee William Nelson [1879-1903] took the new motorized bicycle he had invented out for a test spin. He fell off the bike on a hill and died instantly. According to the New York Times, 'Nelson was regarded as an inventor of much promise.'

Does'nt look as comfortable as my '21 ES. Now who had that RDL seat for sale?

For those asking, 'where that bike is now'?, Midjourney is an AI program that constructs visual images based on keywords and image searches. It finds similar images based on the keywords and extrapolates digital art based on the images and the keywords.
This never existed other than in the digital realm.
