Wow what an incredible piece

Love the handlebars on this bike! I think they are both cool looking and comfortable

That little 'fidget spinner' on the front fender is COOL!

Fantastic, it's great these are still out on the road.

simply beautiful in its own unique way. you deserve way more sinscribers (sic)

I remember this bike and Leonard, he's an original for sure. There was a guy named Kevin who also rode it pretty hard and bent the shit outta the rear rack when he took off with a theft chain attached...

That's the coolest bike I've ever seen

great patina,,,

stunning

That bike looks my grandfather's neighbors in Los Altos California. My grandfather also had a whole garage full of Indian and triumph ,HD. Along with others. He sold his house on Linden Avenue. And moved to Sebastopol. California. And I think one of my goofy uncles ended up getting all the bikes when he passed away

we have always called them "whirlygig's". What they were called new I do not know. Era after market accessory.

Dude you have the coolest friends , 80% of the bikers I know are sunny day chrome polishers , last week I had a friend go home because there was too much " mist " in the air , first I've heard that one , my wife has multiple sclerosis & she's more of a hard core rider than most men I know with bike collections , she rides the fuck outta her Fatboy & her little Buell blast , I'll hear a bike start up & she's gone without saying shit to me lol .

Baja5b nut case yes it does,2016 was the last yr my wife will ever ride one of her own bikes ,she rode her little Buell blast and had a help of a time with depth perception,she parked her fat boy for good and had to ride with me now,she only rides on the back for my feelings because I can see it's very little fun for her after riding her own bikes for 40 yrs . She just started taking the last IV medicine they can offer to MS patients to slow the nerve damage,it takes 4 hours to administer and makes her sick for 48 hours afterwards,I pray the meds give her back her life .

We call them whirleygigs. What they were called new is unknown to me at this time. Back in the 20s - 50s, decorative fender trim was considered ultra cool

It's quite a beauty but I wonder, where does one find parts for something like that? Oh, and, what's with the foot?

HuntingHarleys Is that how you do it? Wouldn't that mean that there's a limited number of parts to go around? They must go for a pretty penny. I suppose a skilled craftsman could rebuild just about anything but still, not an easy task by any means.

I like that motor it be cool if sns redid that motor no one redoes motors older then the flat head that I know of its cool seeing the push rods working

they are really cool watching them run. I seriously doubt S&S will remake this motor though. Not enough interest in the 1920's stuff and not enough parts to put motor's into if they were made. Only the 1928 and 29 JD's had front brakes and the rear brakes did not work very well. These motor's do not fit into Knuckle, Pan or even VL frames.

Whats with the leg? Did he sell you that bike or will he?

Great time, not the peg leg, the ride. The peg leg adds to the story though.

I would love to own a bike like that. I would restore it and make it my daily summer leisure driver. A 1917 Buick for my daily car for going to the city. For parts and hard wear. And buy/restore my gramps old model aa truck for my farm chores hunting/fishing. And haul. My uncle owns it.
