If anyone knows the whereabouts of a 1952 Harley Panhead which used to go under the reg 67GYO (and I presume still does) let me know. It was my old bike back in the early 80's and lovingly rebuilt by me. It ran like a Swiss watch ( by old Harley standards!) and I would dearly love to know what happened to it after I sold it(due to divorce) in fact I would love to have it back again if it's still out there.

Interesting. She was definately a 1952 bike. A hydra glide with the rigid frame and telescopic forks. The duo glide came out in 1958 I think which had a swing arm frame, then the Panhead was fazed out in about 1964 to be replaced by the shovelhead. Wonder how the reg ended up on another bike and what happened to the original?

1964 may be the date of first registration in the UK.
Not the case. I bought it in a pitiful state from Riders of Bridgewater in about 83. It came complete with UK registration document which incidentally, confirmed it as a 52 bike. I rather fear the bell end I sold it to may have underestimated its power ( it had a lot of engine mods by the time I finished with it) and grossly overestimated its brakes, which were frankly shocking. I think she may have gone to the great recycling bin in the sky! Gutted!Gassing Station | Biker Banter | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
