Harley Davidson

This is the latest Vee Twin Overhead Cam engine and gear box for which Harley's are renown for. In my day, the three I had were side valves. They were never fast, but would climb up and over a garden wall. LOL. I also had a 1000c Big Indian ( Ex WD) It had two gear levers one for reverse.

Harley Davidson


This is a Customised Harley Davidson Three Wheeler. I don't think this Tricycle would be allowed on the Public Roads in Britain. So it remains a Show Stopper for Exhibitions. Those front forks look very frail for the weight?

Harley Davidson

Harley's were used extensively during the 2nd World War. With and with out sidecars. Mostly by dispatch riders. The American Harley's were called WLAs. As against the Canadian ones called WLC. The difference was the throttle turned the opposite way from each other. If you got on the wrong motorbike you were in trouble. They all had built in Rifle Racks

Harley Davidson

In America these Three Wheeled Harley's are used by the police for parking duties and such. The Box on the back is usually full of things like Traffic Cones and Road Signs to put round Traffic Accidents.

Harley Davidson

This Stunning Old Blue Harley looks superb. It has a black fish tail exhaust I think they came out before chrome came out?. It also has front damper spring forks with leather saddle and running boards with a hand change gear lever only three gears. That's one thing about Harley's they can be dressed up anyway you want. So no two Harleys ever look a like. Not like British Bikes.

Harley Davidson

The early motorcycles set up the way Harleys have looked ever since. The distinctive handle bars Sit up and Beg Type. A massive Vee Twin Engine. Hand Change Gear Lever. Foot Boards. These bikes were made for comfort. They all have a long wheel base. Distances in America are huge compared with Britain. Hence comfort comes first.

The New Playground.

Underneath the new swings, the ground has been inlaid with a thick rubber safety mat. The mat has holes in it ,and grass seeds have been sown in the holes. Soon the grass will hide the holes and the rubber mat. The grass can be cut as normal. Children will not be hurt if they fall off the swings. How good is that?
