Ahh, i remember that one, i think its the Dirt track oval racing frame often seen at the county fair circa 1906

Glad to see they got rid of that silly idea of strapping two thumpers together at last

On a different note, a bloke who drinks at my local turned up on his bobbed Harley the other night. It has a rigid wishbone frame, a tweaked motor full of S&S goodies and a combination of old forks, spoked wheels and disk front brake.

It's breathtakingly lovely and he rides it like a bloody demon. Apparently it's nothing for him to overtake Buells and the like on runs and leave them for dead. It's just so refreshing to see a HD being ridden that way, with panache and (it has to be said) reckless abondon.

What is a Wishbone Frame ?
I have never heard of that one before.

Does it look like something from a Chicken Carcass ?

Ah !  Just found out....!

As Featherbed and Deltabox etc....Wishbone is a name given to a certain frame(Rigid Cradle Type) built by Harley.

they certainly don't make them like they used to, and thankfully too, they would have been hell to put on the back of the ute back then.

Ah but drop it and damage the frame and a lump of 4X2 and some 4" 10s would do the job

G'day, Rog.

Don't I recognise the rider? IT'S BOYD!

As an enfield rider, it amuses me that rear suspension was enfield's cutting edge contribution to motorcycling in the 1930s and here we are in 2008 and people are deliberately retro-fitting rigid rear ended frames....
