Nice day for a ride...

Took the "Dirty Nine" for a cruise this morning...the snow squalls and the 50 MPH wind gusts made for a pleasurable time...my kinda weather...

Road Test...

I really need to put lights and something other then a 1941 plate on this thing...too tempting! I don't think I'm fooling anyone...

1941 Plate for the FLTT

From the book Harley Racers by Allan Girdler - regarding license plates on racers

41 FLTT Fine Tune and Polish

I haven't messed with the 41 FLTT since the initial start up. I finally got around to dumping the "start up" oil and refilling with H-D 50 W. The thing starts on one kick every time...so far...I dialed in the carb and blasted up and down the road a bit for some fine tuning. I washed the rest of the sticky dust off it from being in the house for so long and polished it up...not used to that! 

OK now what do I do with it????? I need to get some lights and a plate on it and turn it into a street bike!

Firestone Studded Ground Grip Enduro/Jack Pine Tires

 One NOS one used

Firestone Studded Ground Grip

5.25 - 5.50 - 18

I had some questions regarding tires lately. Here are a couple of the Firestone Studded Ground Grip tires. I have seen these on "Jack Pine" and "Sandy Lane" Enduro bikes from the 40's and early 50's. I've had these for decades waiting on the right project. Yeah that's pigeon shit...

Not for sale just informational.

My "Hydra Bob" 41 Knuckle

The bad ass yellow "Enduro" Jack Pine style Knucklehead owned by my buddy Matt in NC is reminiscent of my 41 "Hydra Bob" Knuckle or visa versa...I like his exhaust better!
