Langlitz Leathers A Portland Icon

When: Saturday, April 27th, 2013 10AM

Where: Museum Display Building, Brooks, OR

Presenter: Dave Hansen & Judy Langlitz Hansen

Ross Langlitz was an ardent motorcyclist who in1947 decided to open his own leather garment

shop that focused on high quality custom

motorcycle gear. Ross was relatively successful in

the early years, and in a couple decades the shopwas running smoothly and ready for the Golden

Age of Motorcycling of the 1970s. Ross retired in

the mid-1980s, but left the shop in the hands of

his daughter (Jackie) and son-in-law (Dave). Forthe past 3 decades they have endeavored to run

Langlitz Leathers as Ross intended....not too bigas to get out of hand, and not so small that it

would have major problems sustaining itself.Ross' goal of producing The World's Finest

Motorcycle Leathers has been reached, and hisreputation has traveled around the world as the

ultimate in motorcycle gear.

Though this small company was founded in

Portland, and remains located in the same place it

has for over 4 decades, it is well known around

the world. Many of their customers are in Asia,and Europe, as well as here in America....but its

heart is here on 25th and Division Street. It is not

a fancy facility, as one can immediately see once

they enter the shop. Its primary focus is buildingli l h d ff i fi l i

Furthermore, the shop found

care is far better than advert

modern conveniences, they d

Now that the second generatthird generation (Judy) is con

tradition. In short,Langlitz Le

1913 Indian Twin

The 1913 Indian 61 Twin motorcycle was typical

of the performance bargains available in the early

20th Century. Indian had offered its first V-twin in1907, a 40-cubic-inch (633-cc) with atmospheric

intake valves, which were common at the time.

By 1913, the engine had grown to 61 cubic inches

and boasted overhead intake and side exhaustvalves.

Though standard models had but a single speed,

a two-speed transmission was available as anoption. Indian built singles during this period aswell, but the V-twin accounted for 90 percent of

the company's production.

It's not difficult to see why: In 1913, for example,

a four-horsepower single cost $200, while aseven-horsepower twin went for $250. That was

clearly more bang for the buck.

New for 1913 was a "Cradle S
