Airedale terrier in 1916-24 HD sidecar

my friend found this great foto , i gotta think its a little foto shopped .. you can see the toolbox on the tank in front of the Corbin speedo, its got a amp gauge on top of the box, horn below headlight, ever notice the early bikes never had mirrors? no door to the outside off the boat.

Afrikan elefants extinct 2027..anything for a buck

 Ivory  what its all about ,, some ivory bullshit in a Hong Kong shop that came from a grisly murder of a majestic elephant...anything for money... money chasing bullshit

Pretty sad state of affairs, amazing cruelty, in the yr 1900 Afrika was estimated to have some 10 million Afrikan elefants, 1989 some 630,000, today some 300,000,, 2027 the only elefants left will be in zoos if not killed off by EHV-9 , Equine Herpes Virus 9 a killer of Asian elefants...

If you have ever seen these guys in real life , they are amazing, ...rhinos will be extinct in 10 years outside of zoos, ... anything for the almighty dollar..........

Reader sent me these amazing fotos of these massive Panzer wheels and tracks, by looking at the old fotos my guess these are for the Stug. i could be wrong , but they look closest to this vehicle, what a job that must have been to swap out or service these massive wheels and tracks.

late 1947 Knucklehead Big Twin frame neck

Close up of the late last "Bullneck" frame for 1947. I believe theres 3 frames for 1947. This one is very rare. some 20,000 FLs built that year if i'm correct.

Run out of motorcycle lifts? milk crates work..LOL

Bastardized high performanced 1947 engine.

pre 1909 Harley Davidson single belt drive

Above are some very old fotos torn out of a someones family album, If you look very close on the rear wheel you can see the belt/sprocket on the rear wheel. Always thought it interesting that the earliest bikes used leather belts, then bikes went to chains then back to modern flexible rubber belts to lessen the vibration n wear. If you found only the engine of this bike, theres a few folks making highest quality replacement parts to build the whole bike once again. The next foto was on the other side....looks like the old "our gang" little rascals.
