Well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what my favorite hobby is, right? Harley Davidson motorcycles. I ride them, I fix them, I loved them. In the pic, a hundred years ago a Harley Davidson 1910 single piston engine. Capacity 494cc. Number of gears 1. Rear suspension: rigid. Ignition: Coil or magneto at buyers option. Final drive system: Direct belt. The rider: Sherbie Becker.
Call of the Wild……err……. Turkey?
Wild Turkey season is just around the corner here in Tennessee. Not the bourbon, the bird.
Allen Bailey of Chuckey, Tennessee made the box call in the photo. Mr. Bailey is 70 years old and learned woodworking at his grandfather’s sawmill. He became an avid turkey hunter and guide, and a natural extension of these two skills became making turkey calls.
Mr. Bailey’s calls are a work of art. This one is his inlayed diamond pattern. He makes about 400 calls a year. I’m fortunate to own #33 from this year’s production.
This box call is patterned after the famous Lynch Fool Proof and has a Mahogany lid and Sassafras soundboard.
To celebrate such a grand American bird, a great American razor. My 11/16ths Spike.

Brush: SRD silver tip # 3

With all the gun aficionados posting their favorite firearms. I though of pairing Harleys with guns. There is a long history of Harleys in the army. The pic for today shows a 1917 twin engine. Capacity in cc 989. Ignition: Magneto. Number of gears 3 (in 1911 was one, two gears in 1913) Drive system: chain.
Location: Definitely the western front. Notice all the mud...this leads me to think the location should be Belgium and the battle of Ypres or Passchendaele.
