Knuckle Heads

[diesel55]

Glad myself and others brought our Knuckle Heads to the Big Show in Wauseon Ohio this past summer. No wonder nobody wants to get in involved in traveling long distances loading... unloading plus baby sitting these expensive machines so that they do not even get recognized in the AMCA magazine . Unless you own a 1936. Not even a thank you . Could not even Buy a meet tee shirt . They were sold out before the meet started . Next time I will bring my original paint Harley Golf cart and ride around and look at the ORIGINAL REPOP tools/signs/tee shirts . :

I do appreciate knucks (any condition)! Not sure I'll every score one, maybe one day . . . come on lottery! But if I want start collecting parts. What better place (see link) to start than by picking up a what looks like a mid-year '36 cam chest cover! And for a mere $3000.00 it's already "Got Patina"!

By this standard... a '36 Knuck must now be worth about $3.9 million...

Hey Diesel55, I'm with you on this one. I too brought out a Knuckle to Wauseon and I must say that I'm usually disappointed by the National Meet coverage in the magazine. How many pics of orange judging vests do you need to see...I know I'm gonna hear ..."well why don't you contribute to the magazine?" I tried a couple of times with stories of my trips riding an antique bike out to a meet, however, I was told there was too much vulgar language and alcohol references...and that was after I cleaned it up! I also may hear "why don't you take the time to photograph everything?" Well I do and I post it on a Blog...here's Part 1 of Wauseon 2013...I would be glad to contribute to the magazine..

We hauled and rode out to Wauseon also bringing lots of eye candy along as well as Matt's 36. I arranged the gathering of 7 36 knuckles in one place, probably more than has been together in one place since they were new, the magazine did not have anything to do with it, but I let Bill Wood know that it was happening and he recognized the importance of the event and ran with it. I had my own photographer and sent out framed prints to all of the parties involved as a thank you and appreciation for their involvement, I tried to get a tee shirt also, but was too late also. We had a couple of friends from Japan come home with us and they rode Matt's 36 and my 39 over 1,000 miles back to South Dakota, proving once again that these bikes are road worthy and not trailer queens. We will be taking 2 36 knuckles on the Cannonball this fall, one is mine, currently under construction and the other is Matt's 36, which some lucky sweepstakes winner will ride from Daytona, Florida to Tacoma, Washington a distance covering over 4,000 miles. Just because they are worth a lot of money does not mean you cannot use them, get out there and play with them.

I agree about roadworthiness, of course, but you lost me with the last line, Carl.

Not everyone can absorb the risk to their 'retirement plans'.

Carl... Your effort on the 1936 KNUCLKLE DISPLAY was flawless. What I was getting at was the AMCA could do more on MEET COVERAGE as far as the featured machines are concerned .

Carl, I think that picture is on this months American Iron Magazine's cover.

Carl!

If you feel a little violated by Buzz K., welcome to another "club"!
