    1918 Harley. I don't know much else. It was in my father's basement for 50 years and it's been in mine for thirty more. I would appreciate any comments about it. I think it's beautiful just because my ancestors rode it. Thank you.

      Should be worth the farm! The kind of Harley you see at a large Christie's type auction for cars & motorcycles.

      perhaps the third and fourth entries will give you some ideas...

      It's like a piece of art.
      Thanks for sharing.
    5. Electraglide, 14 years ago
      Can i be one of your ancestors. I want to ride it. Very cool and everyones dream to have one of them sitting in their basement. Between you and me, i'd move it to the living room.

      Only goingg to go up in value,....research well if you ever decide to sell it
      if all original,its worth big bucks
    7. cementguy cementguy, 14 years ago
      You can't beat this! Thanks for sharing
    8. VtCollector, 14 years ago
      Wow super nice. Get it out of the basement and display it with pride. You can tell it's a harley by the oil uderneath it.
    9. ttomtucker ttomtucker, 14 years ago
      It's nice to see a Original 1918 HD, has it been started or rode in recent years?

      TRULY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!
    11. TRIKER TRIKER, 14 years ago
      Harleys don't leak. They mark their spot. LOL
    12. LauraJ27 LauraJ27, 14 years ago
      Wow! Mike Wolfe from American Pickers would love to see this :)
    13. BetsyAnn, 14 years ago
      Thanks everyone for the nice comments. :) The bike hasn't been ridden since the 1950s. I have no idea what it's worth and I don't know how to find out. To me, it's priceless.
    14. cycles-past cycles-past, 14 years ago
      I could give you someone's name who could tell you all about it and value
      email me at cyclespast@vermontel.net

      Harley's are like male dogs, they like to mark where they've been..but this one's like a very old dog that's been in the same place way too long! Awesome bike!...get that puppy road worthy and take him out!
    16. metalman metalman, 14 years ago
      you are very lucky, don't ever sell her. B eautiful

      What a family Heirloom! All I got was the family Bible. It's been over four months since the original post. Could you give us an update on what you have found out about the bike? What you have decided to do with it. If it was mine I would just do what it would take to get it running and preserve the original surfaces.
    20. beau5278 beau5278, 14 years ago
      That is a great old survivor!

      Thanks for sharing , great piece of the past.
    22. cbrast, 13 years ago
      Get it OUT of the basement. It needs to breathe. :)
    23. BetsyAnn, 13 years ago
      I still haven't really found out anything about the bike. I get conflicting info about its value (anywhere from $5-30,000). Sorry everyone, I'm trying. :)
    24. DASPICKSTER DASPICKSTER, 13 years ago
      When you move it up to the living room you can throw the tv out and put it in its place. I would watch it for hours. LOL!

      electraglide, insanity is hereditary, you get it from your kids.
      I'm wondering if i get a tax-free musee' status, maybe i could get some idiots to donate some of this great merde for a tax deductions (on their dutch taxes)?
      damned, what a beauty. I can confirm it's a Harley because of the oil leak spots under it.
    26. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 12 years ago
      Oops! Didn't show, so thought I forgot to hit SUBMIT. Senility has its advantages, - I just can't remember what they are!
    27. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 12 years ago
      I just drooled on my key-pad. Can anybody tell me what I should expect to happen?
    28. Vintagefran Vintagefran, 11 years ago
      The oil leak spots prove nothing! Could just as easily be a Triumph or any bike come to that! Love it. I've never seen such an old Harly.
