When a friend sent me the link to this video, telling me to watch this Harley Davidson, I have to admit to being slightly skeptical. But I guarantee after you've viewed it, you'll have to say wow..... Wink

Wow! Smile

Surprising condition, for a bike 98 years old! Amazing too how the sound of the engine is so similar to current Harleys'. Not by chance of, course, but still, amazing!

Nice find Allen.

I understand that in 98 years H-D has nearly doubled engine power Laughing Laughing

Very nice, even back then they like to add the accesories. What........ no chrome!!

If you like old bikes be sure to visit this place:
http://wheelsthroughtime.com/
All the bikes run and Dale will be seen riding them around the museum. If you want to hear something run, just ask, he's happy to start any one of them.

I made a speciap there this past summer to see these guys ride into the museum on the 3rd leg of their trip.... WOW:
