1915 Harley-Davidson 11F, 1000cc |
 |
|
1915 Harley-Davidson 11J, 989cc |
 |
Vintage Harleys all look pretty much the same to the casual beholder, but to the enthusiast a 1915 model is outstandingly interesting: it combines some features of the veteran period such as the angular petrol tank and the pedals, with modernities as a three speed countershaft gearbox and electric lighting.
What makes this particular motorcycle even more attractive is its fabulous unrestored condition: most of the original paintwork and nickel are still prominent on the machine, which must have had some very careful owners.
A very authentic machine, equipped with period Corbin speedometer. |

Although this machine was manufactured in 1921, it was actually only sold in Britain in 1924.
In the twenties it was customary that Harleys that were imported in Britain were equipped with British-built sidecars, lighting systems etcetera.
Hence the non-factory sidecar and Lucas acetylene set.
This nicely restored vintage HD comes complete with Corbin speedometer and genuine British top-tube mounted horn. |

1923 Harley-Davidson 23-F, 989cc |
 |
It took the Harley-Davidson Co. about 12 years to develop their motorcycles from a single cylinder belt driven single 3 HP machine to the 45 degree V-twin with 3-speed countershaft gearbox that was marketed in 1915.
This sturdy 989 cc (84x89mm) machine became a popular choice for motorcycle buyers all over the world, private enthusiasts as well as police forces, postal sevices and other government bodies.
The OHV inlet, side valve exhaust concept was used till 1930, when HD chose the full sidevalve engine concept. HD’s became famous for their power, comfort and reliability. |

With this model the machine weight grew from 366 lb in 1924 to 420 lb in 1929.
HD’s became famous for their power, comfort and reliability.
There is still magic in the name, just as it was 75 years ago! |

 |
There was a 61 ci ( 1000 cc ) JH version and a 74 ci( 1200 cc ) JDH model.
The timing gear case had a distinctive peanut shape, which made it easily recognizable as a Two Cam.
The Two Cams used a direct action valve gear; the machines were very fast and differed in a number of respects from standard models: fuels tanks were narrower, front forks were specially forged and the wheels were 18 in diameter instead of 20. |

Model E “ Knucklehead” - named after the shape of the polished aluminium rocker shaft covers- was a slow success for Harley.
They sold just 152 of them in 1936, out of a planned production of 1,600; and only 126 in 1937. Then, in April 1937, Fred Ham, a Pasadena motorcycle police officer took his own, carefully-broken-in Model E to Muroc Dry Lake (now known as Edwards Air Force Base).
He outlined a five-mile circle with flags and flare-pots for round-the-clock riding.
Stopping only for fuel, oil, fruit juice, and to change a broken rear chain in the 20th hour, Ham completed 1,825 miles, averaging 76.02mph.
He set 43 new speed and distance records for himself and Harley-Davidson's Model E, single-handedly founding the legend of the Knuckleheads.
The engine has a power output of 37 HP @ 4800 RPM which gives the machine a top speed of 100mph. |

This bike was raced in Seattle area Hillclimbs in the early 1970's. In classic hillclimber style, the bike was lightened up with a hydraulic front end and different rear fender. The large rear sprocket also helped to get the bike "up the hill." This bike still has the roller chain on the rear wheel, which was another asset in trying to get up the hill.
The bike was bought in 1971 from Jack Wadkins who was an expert Class C rider. The tuner for the bike was John Martinolich who was the Class C Professional Hill Climb champion in the 40's and 50's. |

The Model 165 STU, produced from 1953 to 1959, had a carburetor with a restricted intake port. The carburetors were designed to be used on different sized engines, and "tuned" for a specific application by using an orifice plate with an opening of the proper size for the application. The STU's orifice plate had a smaller opening than standard ST's therefore producing a lower horsepower.

It has a 84-tooth rear sprocket, making the gear ratio very low. Again, this bike is a mint restoration, painted in Hi-Fi green. It also has the correct, very hard to find Goodyear Grasshopper front tire and the Continental Sport knobby rear tyre. |

This powerful little motor bike was made in Italy (by Italians) at what once was "Aeronautica Macchi" until 1961 when HD bought 50% to create "Aermacchi Harley Davidson". This may well explain why the kick stand is on the right side and the kick starter is on the left. As we all know Italians are almost all left handed (and legged to be sure).

Here we have the 1971 Harley Davidson XLH in its factory optional alter ego with the fiberglass boat tail seat section that was available for a $60 up charge. There is a shorty fender under the tail that is painted to match. The reflector sticker usually says "Sportster" as well as the decal near the brake, but in this case it also says Harley Davidson as well.The turtle tank looks and fits much better than the peanut tank next to the Tail section.
