Long-Distance Rider When 20-year-old Ralph Knott arrived at his parents' home at 513 Potter, there was a large welcome home banner out. Knott had ridden his motorcycle all the way from California. It took him four days to reach Ann Arbor from Hunter Liggett Military Reservation, near Monterey. Knott has been serving in the U.S. Army there. He carried only tools on the trip, spending nights in motels along the route. Following a month's vacation, Knott will spend his final year with the Army in Germany.

A human skeleton (top center) and motorcycle were found by a hunter Saturday in a densely wooded section off the 2400 block of S. State Rd. The skeleton, city police and sheriff's deputies believe, is that of a young rider who apparently lost control of his cycle on State and crashed into the underbrush several months ago. No identification was released by the police agencies.

Increase In Mobility Expected: City Traffic patrolmen William Miller and Jan Suomala, left to right, stand behind two new motorcycles to be used by police to get through heavy traffic while Detective Lt. Eugene L. Staudenmaier, third from left, checks over a lighter, two-wheel cycle which will be used by his division for quick, downtown runs. Traffic Lt. Howard A. Zeck, second from right, accepts the keys to the cycles from Hugh Wenk, owner of the Downtown Honda Co., 310 E. Washington St., where the cycles were purchased. City police have not used two-wheel cycles for 10 years.
