It's funny how that kind of stuff can accumulate and another '14 to boot! Best of luck Hawg... that bike deserves to be running on it's big birthday!

Great stuff Tommo! That shot really shows how popular motorcycle racing was in those days.

I could comment but it would be probably just be a scrambled version of what Eric said. Very well done Steve and thanks again for sharing this kind of work with us.

Wow... 95 is a pretty big number in the "years" category. Good for him! I bet he can tell a story...

Great photos Harry! I'll jump on the bandwagon with Hawg on that early sickle ID... it does indeed look like a "Pope".

That's very sound advice Sirhr. I'll be the first to admit that I've reached down and "twiddled" with the carb when I really had an ignition issue. Fuel or spark??? Usually spark if the carb was...

Sverre, I'll be paying attention for that one now. It doesn't rattle any memories in my noggin' at the moment. Just a thought.... wouldn't you feel a tad uncomfortable sitting over the boiler like...

I'm a big fan of early photos and postcards. Thanks for sharing them Duffey. That could very well be the clearest "World's Record" shot that I've ever seen.

Bob, you did a great job on that WLC ! All the hard work seems to instantly pay off when the bike fires up and settles into that good ol' potato, potato sound.... at least that's how it seems to work...

O.K. really? How many of you fellas haven't seen a deer strapped on the back of a Panhead with a rifle slung over the rider's back? :D Seriously, though thanks for the pics Jim. There were a couple...

You nailed it Tom! Anyone decipher the writing on the tank?

I hear you on that fender Eric. It does seem a little lengthy don't it? I'm sure it may have made sense at the time but I could just...

I'm slipping a little bit lately it seems. I didn't even notice this post for some reason. That was a great video Rich. Thanks for taking the time to post it.

Eric, spaghetti is about as close as...

Those are some good pics guys! Thanks! Great rundown on your ride Jason. Glad to hear the Chief is performing well.

Ouch! That's a nasty one! I'm betting nobody back in '47 would ever have thought that this was worth fixing. But like you said, "they stopped making them". I'll be staying tuned to see what you do...

Can't wait to see this one!!!

Great stuff fellas! Thanks for the pics!

The footage is a couple years old but it's fresh on YouTube.... You can tell some excitement was in the air during the board track event. A yeller Harley turned into a Cyclone! There's a dandy belt...

Eric! Good job! Thanks for remembering the "old" bikes.....:D

Rich, I used to have a civilianized '42 WLA. It was painted the color most often associated with Harleys.. Green or not, they are awesome bikes! Anybody besides me notice that a box of NOS was...

I've seen a few Indian Scouts still in the crate. They weren't fetching the kind of money he's asking though. It could be legit but it looks like he tore into the crate like it was Christmas!

It's always sad to hear of the passing of another legend.

Exactly what I was thinking!!! ;-)

Rob, glad to hear you got things sorted out. The thought of that bike falling over due to stand failure is terrifying!!!

I figured you'd like 'em Tom!
