This is the War machine extraordinaire - maybe as many as a million of these were produced - we gave thousands to the Germans after the war and as far as I know , we gave a bunch to anyone who asked for them at one time or another on a " Lend Lease" program - which means - they got them for FREE! This one came from Australia.

This is a 61 Harley super 10 - everyone calls the whole series the Hummer or Lightweights . Actually - they were all lightweights until 1955 when a new model was offered without a front brake etc and was called the "Hummer" . They were NOT named hummer because of the sound it made, but because a feller named Dean Hummer sold the largest number of the lightweights in 1948 when the first lightweights were offered.

This bike was also made from the DKW molds that we got from the Germans after the war. The first Yamaha was also made from the identical molds of the DKW's because the Germans and the Japanese were the "Axis " power in the war and the Germans gave them what they needed to produce this little bike.

So - If you tell your riding buds that there are British (Bantams), Japanese (Yamaha YA1), Russian (three different manufacturers in Russia) and German (DKW) bikes that have parts that will bolt right on or in a Harley - they will be surprised and you will be correct.
