1936 Harley Davidson Knucklehead


I stopped by the Antique Motorcycle Club of America, Southern National motorcycle rally and meet Friday morning in Denton, North Carolina. There were a bunch of really interesting old bikes to look at, but I was attracted to one in particular, a 1936 Knucklehead Harley Davidson. Perhaps because it was in almost original condition, or because it still runs great, or because it still has it’s original paint, I was drawn to it. What was really great though, was the original owner had named it “Flying Cloud”. That name alone made me wonder what great stories that old bike had in it,

Transportation



The North Carolina Transportation Museum is located in Spencer, North Carolina. The museum is on the grounds of the old Southern Railway Spencer Shops. Though it is by far a railroad museum, there are all types of transportation and vehicles on display. I love to visit there and see all the textures and designs in the old equipment and buildings.
