The Harley-Davidson 750 cc side valves were nicknamed 'Liberators'. In fact, that was wrong. Because the American V-twins were more rearguard than front bikes. They were heavy and had little ground clearance.
Seventy-five years after the liberation, Harley-Davidson's WLA and C models, the BMW R75 and fat Zündapp boxers have effectively become unaffordable. Other European ex-army motorcycles from WWII are still reasonably to well affordable. Think of the British and…

The organization is proud to announce that the Swapmeet, previously held in Haaksbergen and organized by the “friends of Harley-Davidson”, will be continued. In the city center of Enschede, barely 10 km from the old location, we have…

In the classic motorcycle world, the really old-timers seem to be becoming increasingly popular. For example, the HD WL types, the engines that were worth somewhere between 100-150 guilders in the XNUMXs, are now only for sale for a very short time. And…
HD_WLA_WLC_revisieWhile WWII has not yet ended seventy years ago, things are in danger of going terribly wrong with the professional overhaul, rebuilding, etc. of the Harley-Davidson WL A and C models. Not to mention the WLDs.
