    I grew up hill climbing in north Georgia and Tennessee. I watched my Dad top many hills on his Rickman Metisse with a 750 Triumph motor. The Harley's were formidable. The banter and rivalry back and forth was ferocious at times, but it was all for fun. I rode a 1974 Yamaha 80. I still have my trophy from the day I topped Red Mountain in Georgia. From that day on, I realized there was no challenge in life too big to tackle - except for maybe old age and 12 surgeries later - lol! This is a great bike - your museum is on my bucket list and we enjoy the excitement of the raffles. Who knows, maybe one day I'll win!

    In the 70s, I used to watch hillclimbs near Lancaster, PA. Frame stretched, cammed up, 45 cubic inch Harley flatheads running alcohol were the bike du jour. They struggled to get up the hill, though. One time someone showed up with a modified Honda CB750, and it was so powerful that its back wheel dug a trench all the way up the hill.

Now that I have owned a Harley for years , I don`t see any dripping oil on the floor . Guys used to have a hill they raced on in my home town ,but, was made clear no one was to any longer because a person got hurt. Here in Ct. 2021 I am still riding this winter no snow . Cool ha ha
