Harley Davidson

I had an ever growing itch to have an old motorcycle for years. My family had been heavily into motorcycles even before WWII. Stories of rows of them sitting around had always sparked interest in me.

I'd never even ridden a motorcycle in my life...but I wanted one... and it had to be an old one...(hand shift)

Sold a few things... had a bit of money... searched and searched and searched...
Turned out I had a hankerin for a 45" Harley... something about the lines when stripped for racing, just spoke to me!

Eventually I spent some of my money and bought a '33 Ford Coupe race car... turned out to not be what I had hoped for... so listed it for sale... or trade for a motorcycle. Had some offers but nothing panned out to trade.

The racecar left on a boat and my bank account had a short time with a full belly...

Around Thanksgiving 2009 I came across an add online for a '51WL restored at a price I could easily afford.

Made a call... took a drive... brought it home.


There she sat... in all her 58mile glory... shiny paint, chrome, whitewalls, PERFECT...

Happy as can be... I proudly owned a realy nice old Harley Davidson...

So.. I did what any red blooded American boy would do...

Stripped her down and hopped her up!
