Two early Harleys

I saw this pic at an apple Orchard store today. Don’t see many old pics like this nowadays. I like bikes just as much as muscle cars.
Black bike on the right is a Kucklehead the left is a 45 Flathead I think.

You need to visit the Harley Museum in Milwaukee. Not interested in bikes but found it interesting.

At some point long ago, every year they kept a few bikes. Much of what is in the museum is unrestored.

Cool pic. My Dad and Uncle used to ride together until WWII, when they both joined the army. My Uncle came home in '47 and bought a new 74' FL knucklehead. My dad came home in '48 and bought a new 61', EL Panhead but they both got sidetracked with women and got married. My dad sold his in '52 but my uncle kept his and passed it on to his son before he passed away a few years ago.
I should get over to Milwaukee to go thru the museum. I'm on my second Harley and most likely my last. Bought it new in 2000 and still have it.

I’ve read about the Milwaukee museum. Harley has one in PA also . Wheels Trough Time is a good one in Maggie Valley NC.
I’ve owned five. Best was a 48 EL Panhead original bike. Kept a 71 FLH Shovelhead for 38 years. Got a 16 Road Glide Special now, last bike for me.

My buddies and I rode up to Milwaukee for Harley Davidson's 100th Anniversary in 2003. I ordered my bike in 2000 as a 2001 model.
This was when you had to wait 9-12 months to get one.
Needless to say we all had a blast!

I didn’t mention the 50 Panhead I had. Shame but I don’t have any pics of the 50.
I enjoy working on bikes much more than cars. I put a set of Harley Tall Boy handle bars on the Road Glide, everyone said you have to get a dealer to install them to get the wiring routed down through the bars. Bullcrap I tore into it n figured it out myself. No Prob Bob!!
