You may have seen this one floating around in other categories but I thought it fit this category quite well. It is my favourite portrait. It is also the one I should not have sold.

with hard-tail, hand shifter and springer front end, that purty flattie is looking like a '47 rather than a '57.

could well be, the info was from another rider in the group of folks that rode in, I couldn't find the actual owner and I'm not much up on that era of HD's.Originally Posted by bikerfish1100
I'd have thought that most of the folks in the group would be fairly knowledgeable on these as many of the machines were vintage. but still ???
I did think that that style forks was mostly found on older machines myself. Be curious to know the year for certain.
Kool machine whatever the year.

last year of stock springer (until it's lamentable fashion-conscious resurrection) was 1947; 1948 saw the introduction of the Hydra-Glide hydraulic front end. a remarkable advancement for American motorcycle engineering, ....and only about a decade or so behind BMW.
hardtail endured until '56 or '57 (can't recall exactly), then the DuoGlide was released.
flathead motor is harder to date from afar, as it continued in production in one form or another until at least the late 60's.
regardless, a very classic look. nice pic- shooting it in b&w improves the texture and feel

I like this ol' photo of my '78 RS with the old rail underpass in the background.
