Swampy442 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Looks like an old Harley or Indian custom chop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Thing is with those older bikes, its probably really hard to find a 'standard' one. Anyway screw the bike, Ill have the P-51 please lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 What were they going to do if she had got there on time ? Other than the possibility of getting a little grit down there, she looked worth the effort. Makes no sense giving her the flick because she was a few seconds over the ETA.....the only message I get from it is that Breitlings are worn by people who never quite manage to find the time to get laid.

Getrag Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I would assume Indian or custom. Doesnt look like any Harley I recognise. On 2nd thoughts, its gotta be custom on an advert... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Likely a custom build Harley. Looks like a hardtail rear end and is definitely running a springer fork - these were common back in the 40's but a new computer designed springer fork was developed in the late '80s. (Got a brochure somewhere for the '88 Springer but never bought one) No idea if this one is the old or the new though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 It is a modern take on what can only be described as a best forgotten & shockingly designed Hardly Movingson. Don't get me wrong, I love Harleys. Just not that type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 The engine looks like a Harley Evo. http://www.harley-davidson.com/media/images/productphotos/PNA/16161_99_M_16ab0.jpg Forks could be newish as well, Harley sold springer models until this year, and there are aftermarket versions. The design goes back to the 1920s (George Brough nicked it for the "Castle" forks fitted to Brough Superiors). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Thanks. Will look at those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagman Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Harley with hardtail , suprising she can walk really , springer forks about £ 750 , Harley might catch up this coming year with water cooling , having discovered OHC this millenium . Nice booming exhaust to cover the sack of spanners sound from the engine - lol gotta love image marketing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
