An interview with Akron motorcycle collector Jack Morris.
Jack wrote an unpublished manuscript about Akron, Ohio’s motorcycling history. The manuscript is in the special collections of the Akron-Summit County Library.
Motorcycle historian Larry Lawrence conducted the interview and was joined at Jack’s house by Larry Barnes of the Antique Motorcycle Club of America and Phil Franz Jr., former AMA National Hillclimber.
