Tom Swift Sr., #1. I guess there is a Tom Swift Sr. and later Tom Swift Jr. takes over with his own series. In this one Senior is just young Tom Swift, and he buys a motorcycle from an odd fellow who gives up learning to ride it. He has some adventures riding it around trying to catch the men who stole an invention from his father, whose name I forget.
