Back in the 60's here, there was a guy named stubb windle (he claimed he helped develop the Harley sportster) that had a bunch of ww2/Korean war military Harley's new and still in the crates that he could not hardly give away because no one wanted them at the time.

After he died the big mystery was, what did he do with them after he closed his shop a few years later. One guy calmed he bought them, but no one here ever saw one.

Nice scoot in the op.


Edit: I got to looking and found what he did with them....I never thought to look on the net and do a search until this thread got me thinking..

The story is..

There is an auction coming up here soon.


Ian Clayton from Shannons Auctions with the cream of the crop - a 1914 10F V-Twin

Next Monday (TODAY), Shannons is selling two significant Australian collections of classic and vintage motorcycles at its Sydney Spring Classic Auction.

One collection consists of some of the rarest Harley-Davidsons in Australia, assembled over 45 years by the owner, a Sydney businessman who prefers to remain anonymous. His initial aim was to have one of each model produced by the factory, and indications are he came pretty close. His collection totalled about 60 machines, plus a few truckloads of spares.

There are so many he is selling them in stages. Nine appeared at the previous Shannons MotorEx auction, with all selling at or above estimates after being offered without reserve.

There was some international interest then which should also apply to the feature attraction at this Monday's sale, an extraordinary 1914 Model 10F V-Twin with two-speed rear hub. It is complete, original and sold in unrestored condition, complete with traces of rust, oil stains, faded paint and perished rubber tyres. It has only had three owners and only the first of those actually rode it.

Next year, this bike will be a 100 years old.
