One reason so few 1918 Harleys are around today

found on http://theborderlinesociopathicblogforboys.blogspot.com a blog with a good name, and great content

Coolest damn thing you'll see all week. 1913 Harley, heavily optioned,TANDEM !, unrestored, with a quick history and instructions how to start it. WOW

the bike's options are discussed for the first 5 minutes, then the bike is started up and the procedure is wonderfully demonstrated, step by step. (starts at minute 5:30)Thanks Mike! This is great!
