Default An in-service Harley golf cart

Saw this at a motel in Salem South Dakota. Owner told me he uses it regularly for maintenance activities. Says it’s super reliable. Thought it was kinda cool.

Those tires look pretty shot. Cool maintenance vehicle though.

You see them around,, they are cool but take up a lot of room. Almost bought one that was running for $1500, but I came to my senses and walked away.

I believe they made them gas and electric. Also tiller as shown and with a steering wheel. Don't quote my either of those statements, just my recollection. My buddy had one years ago, no idea what he did with it, probably in the back of his garage.

There are a couple around here and a couple on Craigslist as restore projects. No thanks, I’m an even wheel guy here. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, etc. no unicycles, trikes, pentamobiles, septocars, etc.

If I had one, it would also be in the back of my garage buried under less important stuff.

Now, if it had a HD Shovelhead or even the Panhead. In 1963, I might whistle another tune. Just imagine, drag pipes on a trike golf cart with a 7:30 AM tee time. We’d all leave it idling. Instead of potato-potato…, it would rumble pro v one-pro v one

Neighbor had one. We painted it black and orange, and mounted some FL handlebars on the tiller.
As I recall, I think it was a 2-stroke.

That looks like a CVO paint scheme!

Looks like he has a ball washer and a head cleaner mounted on it.
Notice the cooler nearby?
Probably tells the old lady “I am off to do maintenance”.

I have only seen a tiller for steering on these.
