What character, and that paint job is so unique. Love to have that under my butt.
That is pure motorcycle porn!

dermott · 02-19-2009, 08:22 PM

that is cool, wish it was mine. is that a 61 cubic inch or 80 cubic inch flattie? looks too big to be a 45. dermott.

turdchazer · 02-19-2009, 08:51 PM

That is pure beauty, I would love to ride it just once. plus they sound so sweet.

The latest issue of Motorcycle Classics magazine has an article about a guy who bought a 1934 Harley VLD in 1938, and he still owns and rides it today at the age of 90. It's a pretty cool story.

model-a-fan · 02-19-2009, 09:38 PM

Vey neat.

Squablow · 02-19-2009, 09:52 PM

It's a very cool bike. I just have to wonder, it kinda seems like there are a lot of pre-war motorcycles around with that kind of original finish and wear on them. I'm surprised there are any left that haven't been restored, modified, or just plain pounded to death.

hemiheadnc · 02-19-2009, 10:16 PM

...one almost like that showed up at Maxton at the last meet in OCT during the rain out on Saturday. All orig, oil drippin' and wheezing. He made a few passes around the pits....kewl to see em that genuine still about...

None made.

Dang fine ride. Way to share the find.

Speed King · 02-20-2009, 12:14 PM

Outstanding. '32s came in 45" or 74" twins. Also a single that year as well. That does look like a 74.
Panic: That is a 33 paint scheme however in 32 Harley had special colors & combinations not shown in product literature. In 32 the standard finish for all models was olive green with vermillion striping.

49ratfink · 02-20-2009, 12:16 PM

Little Wing · 02-20-2009, 12:17 PM

Yeah, that's what I thought as well.

greasemunkey · 02-20-2009, 12:34 PM

That just kicks ass...

Gigantor · 02-20-2009, 12:37 PM

When you say "more affordable than one might first think", what does that mean?

10 gs? A million? That looks like a priceless piece of hardware I would kill to own and wouldn't bother shopping for since whatever they were asking it's a lot more than I could afford to pay.
