  • I was home on leave in Chicago in 77, and visited a friend who had a 37 WLA, and he needed rent money badly. I paid seven hundred for it, rode it to MCAS Cherry Point, ended up in Beirut and overseas, and sold the thing, along with a 64 Triumph and a 62 BSA 441. I've got five old bikes today, from a sixty sportster to a 96 Panhead, I built in 96 all new. Always a pleasure to watch old bikes fire and run, I had no doubt that knuckle would easily go up the hill. I miss some of the 25 or 30 bikes I've been through over the years, a few of them "not so much". I had no doubt that bike would fire, thanks for sharing!
