RE: Pre WWI 1913 Harley in perfect running condition.....

Hi All,
I know some of you chaps are motorcycle owners and operators. This YouTube link I received from my brother which features a 1913 Harley Davidson. It runs 10 minutes in length.
What's so cool about the bike is it's condition. Everything mechanically functions like when it was first new. Fortunately,the paint job is original so it has that great patina finish of passing years. Also,various original 'extras' were added as part of the original package.
The owner fires it up for the last three minutes so one can hear what a nearly 100 year old Harley sounds like. Sounds much like today's Harley but with a softer, loping cadence to it.

Beautiful bike! Nice that it is in such fine condition and all original to the period. And even nicer to hear it run and see it cruising down the road.

OBIO
