Today’s Top 5

Classic Side Arm

Would love to have that Smith & Wesson on the officer's right hip.

Mouse Trap

The silver cover next to the dent in the fuel tank would seem to indicate a mouse trap (or rat trap) clutch mechanism is installed.

That'll leave

a mark !

Optional Equipment in '57

Strange that the Harley doesn't seem to be equipped with a "suicide clutch".

Crash landing

After crossing the lawn, how did he get through the door, up the stairs, and off the balcony?

A useful statistic

90 percent of all the Harleys ever built are still on the road. The other 10 percent made it home. Presumably, this is one of the 10 percent.

He hit a Porsche.

Is Wallace Home?

As a motorcycle enthusiast of many years I have had a few harrowing moments. This would go in the "one heck of a ride" column. I wonder if the rider had anything to do with the marks on the window frame by the S watermark.

I also noticed the lack of equipment hanging from the policeman's belt as compared to today's gear-laden officers.

Just doing my duty, sir

"Never mind the excuses, I'm writing you a parking ticket."

Aww, and in the high-rent district, too!

This is why Hogs never caught on for motocross.

The Honest Truth

"I swear, officer -- that house came right outta NOWHERE. No signals or nothin'!"
