Have a 45 Flathead with your Sunday Morning Coffee
My friends always say to me that I have a great job, always on the road, shooting beautiful motorcycles, women, and action, and modest me always replies, “It’s a lot of work and long hours,” and it is, but there is no place on Earth that I’d rather be.
That being said, I was assigned to the Harley-Davidson 110th Anniversary this year in Milwaukee working for Bikerpros Media and their client, the World Famous AMD Show, at the H-D Museum under the big top.
The cool thing about this is, I get a front row seat to the terrific bikes wheeled in for the show. Now, antique bikes are something I really appreciate and one day would like to own. Paul Anderson rolled this beauty into the show. Its name is “Once in a While,” a 1946 Harley-Davidson Flathead 45. I just wanted to share this with you.
These 45 flatheads were very common, used in World War II and the drive trains powered cop trikes until the ‘70s. The first 45s took over for the total loss VL in ’37, the same year H-D Started to build 45 cubic inch, three wheeled Servi-cars.
