Harley davidson

[C M Gerlach]

Hi all,
Tomorrow I am going to pick up my Davis harley davidson. This is a bike that my grandfather bought used for my dad around 1947. Dad kept it till about 1987, when I gave it to a friend to hang in his motorcycle shop museum area. Knowing I had this bike is what got me to the cabe about a decade ago. I have not seen it in 35 years, but as I remember it is super crusty, with no real paint or plated parts that are good.
There's a teaser.......hope to have pictures and a story tomorrow.
I'm super excited..........
Chris.
