I have room to store it for ya !!!!!
Someone did a decent j-o-b on that one when they put it back together.
Panhead Roy, one of our buds here, rides a '42 Servi-car. It's a 'rat' compared to this one. And HE LIKES it that way. Offered numerous times, to go over it during the winter for him, but he is such a "F"in' curmudgeon. YES, even worse than me!!!
IF N E 1 gives a chit, that would be a WLC model. Obviously, the "C" stands for Canada. They were made for the Canucks, for the war effort.
My Dad rode them (45's) during WW2 as a messenger, near the front lines in Europe. Had 2 disappear (shot and blown out)from underneath him. He said, "Enough of that", and transferred to the Tank Destroyer Battalion. NOW THAT'S A FRIGGIN' SAFE place to be, Dad!!!

Nice "bitsa" (bits 'a this, bits 'a that). Combination of civilian and WLA parts. Not many civilian WL's from '42 however. That kind of bike was relatively common in Europe in the '60s. No money for a new Harley, plenty of war horses left behind. Customized and civilianized.

Nice Bike.

I don't know why I seem to be a magnet for finding deals like these. This has to be the 4th or 5th bike from that era I've come across this year... and I never have the money available...
