Introducing Dave - 1942 Harley Davidson WLA.

Something a bit different to my previous rides on Goldie the 650 BSA.
In this short video we meet Dave, my 1942 Harley Davidson WLA.

Thanks for the memories. I had 42 "45" when I was 14 back in 1955. What a fun bike. Wish I still had it. But my 99 Softail Custom is a great bike also.

[@old-n-Goldie]

Glad you enjoyed it, yes they certainly are fun bikes.
Cheers

That's a great-looking bike. You did a great job explaining everything about the bike. I really like the gold and black and those leather saddlebags. Keep the videos coming brother. God bless and stay safe. ✌️

Wow, that was so interesting, I’ve learnt a lot about the HD’s of the past. I wish I’d have been in the position to buy one of the original ex army ones. Look forward to viewing more of your fascinating content, keep safe.

[@old-n-Goldie]

Thanks, so glad you enjoyed it.
Hope to have a video of Libby ready sometime next month.
Back in the day they were practically giving the army surplus ones away.
Cheers

[@simongilbert2704]

thats something new i have learned about the wla's , great ,, on those roads even a long travel suspension would suffer a bit , so the old dave does a good job , also the speedo that you can see ::::: much better than the new tft crap;;

[@old-n-Goldie]

Glad you found it interesting. Yes I'm afraid British roads are in a bit of a mess now and he does cope quite well considering the very limited suspension.
Cheers.

Love it. New sub

[@old-n-Goldie]

Glad your enjoying my ramblings.

[@nigelweaving9045]

I had one of these in the early 70's. It was great fun but sadly it had to be sold to represent a house deposit. Happy memories though.

[@old-n-Goldie]

Glad it brought back some good memories.
Cheers.
