'42 Harley Davidson WLA Sunday ride GoPro clip
Sunny Sunday ride on my '42 H-D WLA, Queensland, AUSTRALIA.
This bike was used for emptying parking meters in Brisbane city during the 50's, I'm the 4th owner since the Australian War Dept first commissioned it.
Notice the working speedo, a rarity.
Also ridden in the 2013 HARLEY vs INDIAN Great Race, Jindabyne NSW.

+black roses Thanks and yes it is a thing of beauty, call it 'artistry in iron' if you like.
They are incredibly reliable if done correctly, they were designed and built for a purpose one of which is reliability. Bear in mind that they are no speed machine and get a bit cranky if you push them too hard, good for 50-55mph all day, every day.
That is a thing of beauty.
great lookin bike. the mustache angle was the best of the bike. thanks for not ruining this with music

Yes, it is a great bike and feel very privileged to own it. I do a lot of work on old Harleys as I have small business that I run from my home in Victoria Point, Queensland AUSTRALIA.

Something like that but it takes longer to do a mile than a km. Had the top end off a while back to fix up valve cover oil leaks, bore and rings good.
13 great race WOW ! How many miles on the ODO now Shane ?

8,758. There was a short period when the speedo drive stripped so you can a few more miles. Check out one of my other clips on my 74 XLCH Ironhead.
