That Harley that you used to ride is what I think a motorcycle should look like!! I am not impressed with the designs of a
lot of the new age bikes, but then that is just me. I like the BSA style as well.

I agree I some what miss my 74 flat head to a degree but with it being a ridged frame and only 2 1/2 inch travel in the front end they do not ride as well as the new ones. Even thaw I have road when I was younger it on 2000 mile round trips I could not have cover all the states and provinces I have on my 02 Harley. I sold it and the BSA and other bikes to buy my 02. I have only put about 8,000 on my rig in the pass year since putting on my hack. I wish I could have keep all the bikes I sold when I bought my 02 but was not possible. These are the states and provinces I have road to and back on my 02.
When I was around 10 years young there use to be a guy a few streets over that had a new BSA then and he had the USA with all the states painted on the tank. Every time he road in a state he would have that state painted in. Since that time long ago my goal has been to catch all the states excluding Hawaiian unless they build a bridge LOL to catch them all. I have 5 more south west to fulfill this dream. If it where not for my situation I would have them all now. I would not of been able to do this on my old flat head with the time I had allotted. But I have many good memories on the flat head.
Even thaw I mostly ride Harley s in the past 42 years I like and enjoy all motorcycles of all types.
Thanks

Even thaw my 74 flat head was a daily rider it was in 14 shows won 22 awards been in 4 magazines and one newspaper. But what I liked best was riding it and hearing all the tales from older guys when I would stop somewhere.

Here is a picture of a 1934 VL I helped a friend build.
This is one I build for a customer many years ago even thaw in the magazine he said with my help I built it he did take it apart. His father bought the bike new.
Here is my 45 flat head I built when I was still young. LOL
No need to sell anything, open the doors, charge $5.00 per head and watch the money flock to the registers! May have to scoot a few of them around a bit for a path through the middle
Bob is right, would make a great motorcycle museum!! I would pay for the tour and I know a lot more who would too. Jeff, I see that you had a Cushman Eagle that won a couple of prizes too.
When I was a kid I had a Velo Solex and a Whizzer. I yearned for a Cushman Eagle but other things came first.
