Reply #2 - 09/22/16 at 18:42:42 So , The 1932 -74/cubic-inch Harley that folks fell in love with , was 28HP and would do 90 mph. Sound familiar ? Well , it was a twin --- but 28 - 35 HP , is a fun range .

The inner part of his Tweed 'riding trousers' was made of a Kevlar/Gortex/Carbon-fibre material, a material only discovered by riders of multi-cylinder machines many moons later.... Cheesy
