Nice '37 UL (74") flathead. A buddy of mine owns TWO of them, a '46 solo and a '48 with a sidecar.

One of the coolest visuals I have from being a teenage rider in the early 1960's is watching a grizzled old rider on his 80-inch flathead idling smoothly and veeery slooowly through our campground at midnight. That big flathead was idling slower than I thought possible and the old guy was just creeping his motor along. The whole world seemed to be in slow motion.
