Hi Guys,
Last weekend was the annual Monterey Vintage Race Weekend here in California. This event is close to my house so I go every year. The last couple years they have added vintage motorcycle auctions to the number of events around town. I figured I would share some close-up shots of a 1928 Harley JD board track racer. I think 1928 was pretty late in BTR racing so the bikes were much more developed than the earlier bikes.
Here is a side view of the bike. If you look closely you'll notice it has no pedal crank, a rear band type brake, and a clutch.

This is a 3/4 rear view of the drive side. You can also see the seat is fully sprung. Pretty comfy by BTR standards.

One last shot of a genuine 1928 boardie and me sitting on it with a genuine smile on my face! I have said this before about these original machines, they do not look or feel fragile in person. They are definately big, solid machines.
