OMG IS THAT A 1940s kuncklehead?

One in the same, Fishy. Needs quite a bit of work (read small parts) but it'd be rather easy to get going again. Excited!

Military colours by the look of it, as well.

Quite. Practically the same as the WLA model that Harley manufactured in the US, this is a WLC model made in Canada for Canadian, British, and other Allied forces. Considerably harder to find. Very complete bike, though missing small things like linkages, wiring, etc. Just how it goes when talking about something that is over sixty years old.

Is that a holster for a rifle?

Holster for a Carbine or a Thompson SMG.

That looks awesome. How far a range do you think it has?

akerin May 9 2008, 20:32:13 UTC

Right now? About as far as I can push it :P
All depends on what the engine is like, transmission etc. May require an entire tear-down and rebuild, which isn't all that bad (compared to a car). If it were in A1 running shape? As long as your body would hold out. It is a war bike though. Not intended for day-rides at full throttle.

I am excited for sure. Never owned a motorcycle before, though I have ridden quite a bit (a friend I used to hang out alot with collects BMW war bikes. Sidecars for the win). Needs alot of work, but it being a bike, it can live indoors while I work on it.
