1914 Harley-Davidson Twin
Overview
This 1914 Harley-Davidson Twin bike was purchased from the estate of a long time resident and collector in Ventura California. He owned this bike for many years (50 plus) and often rode it double with his lovely wife. He took great care of this machine and it is a fine runner. The bike was sold and moved to Seattle WA in the early 2003 and currently resides on display there. The machine is ready for any pre 16 ride with a little TLC. Note that it is complete with some great patina including a few paint blisters on the tank. This is a 1000cc twin cylinder with a 2 speed hub in the rear wheel. It is believed that this motorcycle was restored in the early 50’s.
