Coolest damn thing you'll see all week. 1913 Harley, heavily optioned,TANDEM !, unrestored, with a quick history and instructions how to start it. WOW

the bike's options are discussed for the first 5 minutes, then the bike is started up and the procedure is wonderfully demonstrated, step by step. (starts at minute 5:30)Thanks Mike! This is great!

Early Harleys and Indians

The above Indian riders were relay riding from New York to San Fran, and I notice there are no front brakes. read about it here: http://www.shorpy.com/node/9225?size=_original from http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=428585&page=920

Fun looking Sportster.

Fun looking Sporty.  Man this would not be tough to duplicate... IF you could find that exhaust and seat.

At the Harley Cafe.

Been going round the web for a while but it's still a post worthy beauty.

Reader Ride. 1950 Panhead. Sweet Custom Chop.

Matt from the Machinehead blog (be sure to check it out. Lots of great stuff) finished up a very nice build of an 1950 Panhead.

Matt

Thanks for the pics Matt. Like I posted on your comments I think it a very well balanced build. Looks like you could ride the tar out of it.  Can't wait to see that Mark 1!!

Reader Ride. Nice Superglide.

Steve G sent me these a while back and they got lost in the shuffle.  Sorry bout that.

I'm sure folks have noticed that I don't post many modern American cruisers.  This is not from prejudice on my part.  I like them fine.  But there are so many sites already dedicated to them (that do it very well) so I tend to shy away.  Anyway, this one caught my eye because it's got some really nice "go" touches without overdoing the "show".  It looks to be a cruiser that you could ride the hell out of.    Function and form and all that ...  Thanks again Steve.
