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

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
