Is it too late to ask about Jerry cans?
All of the many I've had had those screw-in flexible spouts that had to have the vent hole just right.
Then they still leaked.

I read the loaded Boss Hoss is up to $75,000.



 

Harley donated the bike, don't know who paid the painter if at all, but having it parked in Sturgis which is 1,108 miles from Seattle, 1,181 miles from Portland, and 1,377 miles from San Francisco is silly.

It seems like bikes should be the low hanging fruit in electric conversion. Harley is saying they're doing it. Puts me in mind of the old Battlestar Galactica series, I seem to remember a nuclear powered bike.

He has 160 bikes! I heard he got clotheslined on a Vincent.

Leno was being careless, working on the fuel line it's impossible not to get some spots here and there being careful. Get a little lax and it goes everywhere. Being petroleum it sticks, then if it accidentally ignites you've got a big problem instead of a scare. I read he was working under the machine so triple hard to quick exit and he burned his face so he got splashed or he was laying on something that did. 

There is some arguments about the first motorcycle. It seems two claimed the title but that's in retrospect.
The actual builders were too busy building to get into that stuff.
The Michaux was the first to patent but that was 2 years after the fact.
Other folks dismiss both bikes because they were steam powered.
We do know for sure the first production, gas powered, bike was the Hildebrand & Wolfmuller.

Hard to see if Harvey has much in the way of rear suspension.

125cc "rigid" frame. Two stroke.
I still miss my 500 Gold Star these 60 years later.
Used to ride to work on LA freeways, t-shirt, no helmet, hands numb from vibration.

Here's another Indian coming to auction in April...


 

I've been watching Masters of the Air, the third show after Band of Brothers and the Pacific. One of the leads just popped up in this:



 

This must be Europe because the sidecar is on the wrong side.
