Harley Davidson Museum - Part 11: Jumping Stuff

Harley Davidson Museum - Part 10: The Wall

This was the most powerful exhibit in the building. It doesn't photograph well though. You have to go and see it for yourself. It's a wall full of backlit pictures. The pictures are of people and their bikes. Just people and their bikes. Bikes; brand-new bikes from every era, custom bikes, chromed-out dressers, rat bikes, bikes on Pike's Peak, at Daytona, at Sturgis and all points in between. People; old time AMA clubers, real scootertrash folks, RUBs, best bro's, husbands and wives, families with little kids and babies put on bikes for pictures. Just people and their bikes.



I studied every picture and actually wept. You have to see these pictures for yourself.

Harley Davidson Museum - Part 9: Miscellaneous Stuff

Closest thing to a 1948 that I could sit on.














Peas and Carrots after the buy back.


All the employees signed this 100th Anniversary bike.




Tsunami Bike



45 Magnum.

Harley Davidson Museum - Part 8: Restore Room

This is were the work gets done.

Here's the start of my next build.(I wish.)


They are hiding it, but they aren't really hiding it real well, if you know what to look for.


See it now? 1977 Confederate Edition. I assume it was the Sportster that I heard about and have seen other pictures of.




I need all of these tools.

Harley Davidson Museum - Part 7: Living Lost - Photographs by Josh Kurpius

It's nice to see good motorcycle pictures from someone with good equipment, some talent, and a good eye.(Unlike the crapola posted on this blog.)

I dug on this one for sure.


I probably wouldn't have, and maybe shouldn't have, taken pictures of pictures. But then Fritz says, "I see Pans, Evos, and Shovels in these pictures, but all the broken motorcycles are Shovels." He was correct.

So I had to take pictures of the pictures of broken Shovelheads.

Harley Davidson Museum - Part 6: The Tank Wall

Similar two-tone pattern to what I'm doing on mine.


Factory flat black from back in the day.




Baby-poo gold for the 50th Anniversary in 1954, not 1953.


Candy stripes.







Superglide.



Flame glide.











Bad boy, I will own one someday.





Heritage Springer. Another one on my list.


Crossbones. It's on my list, too.

Harley Davidson Museum - Part 5: The Engine Room

The Engines: Shovelhead purists are upset that there's no generator Shovelhead on the wall.














Check this out. Bike building is easy.
