TANK Bike Thursday ... Show off your favorite TANK bike that you admire or own

After my homework got done I got out and about on the Higgins for a 10 mile ride in 65 degrees and a stiff Southerly breeze. We might just get some rain outta this little disturbance. It's okay, I have lots to do inside, maybe even turn a wrench on an old bike.

Yeah, NOS EA horns on the Merc. It's a little "over the top" but that's me. I have dual rear NOS EA axle lights on the bike too, so figured it balanced it off. I also doubled up on the prewar EA 6 ribbers lights on the '37 Dayton Firestone Fleetwood that has the dual delta Silver Rays below. My '41 Elgin 4 star deluxe Twin Bar has the dual NOS EA pre-war front loaders stock on light bar ( I had to eliminate the switches when resto'd back in the 80's)

) and dual NOS EA rear axle lights. Many years ago I had the Delta rocket axle lights on the Twin Bar, but felt that was not vintage appropriate ( never really much of a concern with an accessory, but a consideration) and blocked the view of the Stewart Warner Floating hub.
