Harley JAP

This is an old favorite of mine. It´s a beautiful old racing Harley with a JAP engine, and you can see it in the Norwegian Museum of Science, Technology and Medicine, in Oslo, Norway. I´ve published it before, on my old blog, but I know I have some new readers, so here it is again:

There is an explanatory text to it:

"Harley-Davidson racing motorcycle. Bjarne Wist from Trondheim was active in the early Norwegian motorsport environment. He was riding the Harley-Davidson motorcycle from 1928 to 1932. In 1929 he won a superb victory with it on Bjerkebanen despite a serious accident. The cylinder of the engine burst, and he finally had to push the bike over the finishing line. Then there was installed a 50 hp JAP engine that is still in the bike."

  1. Hei du, dette var stiligt. Har du sett de bildene jeg har på bloggen min der denne sykkelen fremdeles har sin originale HD motor?

  2. Hei selv. Jeg følger faktisk bloggen din, men tydligvis ikke så godt, for de bildene har jeg gått glipp av. Har du adressen til den blogposten..?
