Anyone have early Harleys? Im looking for a 1940's- early 50's big twin. Would love to see what you have, even if not interested in selling. Thanks Matt

They don't leak, they are just marking their spot.

40 EL mostly stock , two 1960 FLH police with sidecars one of which is in poor shape, 64 FL , 74FLH, 08 street glide and a mostly stock 1948 Indian chief. And yes I seem to have a mental problem 😂. There's nothing like an old motorcycle.

You could probably run some Lucas oil in the engine so it doesn't leak so bad. Old Detroit Diesel engines are known to leak too.

No pics right now, been sitting for a while. At some time I could get you some. Too out of shape for kick starting and rigid frames!

My bikes don't leak oil, they sweat horse power! My 1940 Indian Scout, aka Peaches.

My dad had an Indian scout like that, from late 40's, a dog barking at the front wheel got its head caught in the enclosed front fender and flipped him. Lost his left nut on the handlebars, still fathered 5 of us.

You guys sure are stingy with the pics. I ride horses now instead of bikes but I still like looking at them, especially vintage bikes.
