And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Matt at the Wheels Through Time museum would have it running in a couple hours. Probably has the proper parts. Hour or so later he'd be running it around the garage and up and down the road in Maggie Valley. Alan E.
Thanks for that mention. Looked that place up. Whoa. Very nice. I'd like to check it out. My sis lives on the coast in NC and I may have to make a road trip. And I might even stop in and see her. LOL
Would need 15 minutes of maintaining for every hour rode. That one is missing some key elements. My grand dad and a friend rode two Harley’s from Iowa out to pikes peak around 1918 or so.
Museum piece. Don't cobble it together with questionable parts just to make it run. It isn't going to be ridden anyway, so leave it alone, on display in a place of honor. Just my humble opinion.
Looks like a 2.5-stroke 1902 Chucklehead with a with a pre-angulated tubular frame- nice!

Provided they had all of the missing parts or can re-produce the part when this rolled off of "next" to current project on the list.

DeletePretty simple. Simple is good.

ReplyDeleteTalked recently with a guy who owned a Harley. He said it spent more time getting fixed than time spent on the road.
ReplyDeleteHe should have fixed it himself, or learned prper maintenance
DeleteI don't know....maybe if you gave it to a Cuban mechanic he would have it running in peak form within the week.

ReplyDeleteWas that once a board track racer? The handlebars suggest it might have been a motordrome mount.
ReplyDeleteHarleys are crap bikes famous for converting gas into noise.
ReplyDeleteEnvy don't look good on you.
DeleteLot has changed since HD made my Buell, and it starts on a dime.
