@@dukecraig2402 Hoy mate, you asked for it. I bought a brand new Whore House Red 1979 Superglide. Brand new I paid $4.700 dollars for it. I was 20 years old stationed in Altus Ok, I bought it in Lawton OK. I would ride that bike on some long rides back and forth, up and down Oklahoma. After a few hours of riding the rear cylinder would get so hot it would start predetonating. BANG BANG BANG out of the rear exhaust pipe with some flames popping. I would have to pull over and shut the bike down ...... on the side of the damn road. I thought WTF, I have to shut down a air cooled engine to let it cool??? I then had to trailer it to Raleigh NC. From there I rode it to Jax Florida.... every couple of hours BANG BANG BANG They're bitch goes again. Pull over and wait... in some bad damn spots. I was furious with HD. I rode it from Jax Fl to Ft. Pierce Fl, HAD TO PULL OVER TWICE ON HWY 95. When I got to Ft. Pierce I said PHUCK YOU HARLEY DAVIDSON and sold the damn bike for $3000 dollars. I swore I would NEVER own another damn air cooled V twin engine. They are a SERIOUS design flaw. There is no damn way in hell the rear cylinder will ever run as cool as the forward cylinder. It ain't gonna happen unless, you turn the engine sideways like this. ONLY THEN will both cylinders be at the same temperature. I stayed away from Harley Davidson for almost as long as you've been riding them. Well, I had to have a backup vehicle last year..... I cant afford a decent used car so..... I bought another Harley Davidson. A beautiful 2005 Screaming Eagle 103CI Electra Glide Candy Cherry Red. It only had 5062 miles on it and everything on it works, I paid $8500 for it! I just had a Stage one upgrade and a Ultra Cool Oil Cooler put on. This October I'm going to have Amsoil Adam add a set of Love Jugs to it. If I ever have to pull over and let another Harley Davidson air cooled engine cool off, I'll sell it as fast as I can and buy a damn Honda Goldwing. There better bikes anyway. I've been riding Harleys since 1979, I dont take any shit from them anymore, I'll jump ship at the first sign of trouble. Have a nice day.

a little bit of history the first of indonesian made plane, WEL RI-X (1948), was powered by a harley engine sadly the plane was lost after an accident causing a grenade to detonate inside the train carriage containing the plane when it was sent back to Madiun where it was built though, fast forward to 1981, 2 flying replicas of the plane was built in Jakarta and Bandung, while the Jakarta version was built close to the original spec, it crashed and broke the left wing, and after getting fixed, it was deemed inoperable and given to Satria Mandala military museum in Jakarta, and then the Bandung version, was revised to use an engine from VW Beetle and a more aerodynamic cowling, can fly smoothly after the angle of incidence was increased by 5 degrees, afterwards the plane was given to Dirgantara Mandala airforce museum in Jogjakarta both planes can still be visited at their respective museums today

Sketchy is an understatement. That’s as close to becoming a one-armed paper hanger as you ever want to get. NEVER use both hands on a prop. ALWAYS grab it with only one hand and prop it in a motion as if you are just walking by. That way, if you stumble, you’ll be clear of the prop! P.S., If you ever want to donate that machine to an Aviation Museum dedicated to getting the machines from 30’s & 40’s airworthy & flying again, let me know! We have the resources to make it happen!

That actually looks like a Mini Max airframe! My father had two engines in his shop trailer... one mid-2000s Harley, and a 2013 Rotax. He wanted to build two airplanes with me once he got moved down here from Alaska... one for him, and one for me. He died 5 months after getting here, and earlier this year I took a trip down to New Mexico to see the extended family. One of the airframes was there.... 😢. It was seriously hard to stand there and look at that, and realize I have no way to finish it. Seriously though... this is a real aircraft, and it's no more risky to build an EAA compliant aircraft with a Harley engine than it is to use a VW engine... and VWs have been powering experimental aircraft for about 80 years. Harleys are ligh enough to put on an ultralight, and that's what this is... a MiniMax ultralight.

Everybody talking smack on the H-D, I've never seen an Indian motor mounted to an airplane or heard of one either. Motorcycle engines were used because they were light, reasonably cheap and produced enough power to get the thing off the ground. Les Long in Oregon built a series of lightplanes and designed a horizontal opposed engine using H-D cylinders and other parts on his own design crankcase. Ford model T and model A engines have been used along with the flathead V-8 in a certified factory airplane. There have been others over the years, even now.

Well I for one don't believe that the thing could actually fly. None of it looked airworthy. I didn't even see if it had controls on the flaps

Steve Whittman built an airplane "Hardly Ableson" in 1923 w/ a Harley engine. It crashed as a result of lack of power.

This looks like a Church Midwing. The high speed version of the Heath Parasol.

Had a helmet just like that as a freshmen RB on the football team in 1958. Trust me on this, you need better protection than that lol. True story.

I used to have a T-Shirt from BMW that asked the question "If Harley-Davidson made a plane, would you ride in it?"

Nice flight! LOL yes, it could fly, but I wouldn't toy around with it.
