Property of a deceased's estate, 'Harley-Davidson' Board Track Replica

The Autumn Stafford Sale – The Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show|14 October 2023, 10:30 BST|Stafford, Staffordshire County Showground

Property of a deceased's estate
'Harley-Davidson' Board Track Replica
Registration no. not registered
Frame no. none visible
Engine no. none visible

There being no purpose-built motorcycle racetracks in the sport's pioneering years, the first competitive events in the USA were held on existing velodromes built for cycle racing. The major manufacturers were involved from the start, there being no greater rivalry than that between Indian and Harley-Davidson. This 'Harley-Davidson' Board Track Replica belonged to the lady vendor's late father. It has not been possible to identify the frame and engine, although the latter's design strongly suggests it may have been intended for a non-motorcycle application. Sadly, there is no known history. Following a period of storage and inactivity, the machine will require recommissioning, or possibly more extensive restoration, before use and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to the motorcycle's provenance, age, completeness, originality, and mechanical condition prior to bidding. There are no documents with this Lot. Offered without key.
