Thank you, and yes that was a great thread. I had never heard of that guy, but that was a great story. In another life, I could have been just like him.
I love that old BMW. Something about them has always interested me.
Those and the Ducati's are my favs. Can someone answer a question for me though? I've heard the term "knucklehead" before when referring to Harley's, but what does that mean? Does it have to do with the shape of the head, or what?

Yep the rocker covers supposedly look like a set of knuckles or a shovel for example. Panhead, Flathead, Knucklehead and Shovelhead...etc

This story was also published, slightly edited, in two parts in the May and June 2010 editions of the newsletter of the BMW Club of Southern California.

Obviously not. All the clues are there. The bike is an Indian and the guy in the trailer is from Cleveland...............
