The second picture is a white 1934 Harley VL with optional one year chrome hi-flo muffler and exhaust, Corbin speedometer, ride control and buddy seat. Nice!

Steve, that's an interesting '34. Several non stock features besides the all white paint job: white headlight, parking lights, tool box, battery cover with no decal, Later fender lamp, chrome muffler but no other chrome package parts, missing muffler hanger at fender. Chrome? wheel rings. Do you think all this is "owner customizing"? Neverthe less it's a great picture. Cute girl on the back, too. Thoughts?

That's Frank "Stinky Davis" Matheus with the white '34. Milwaukee WI rider and for a period during the 30's a mechanic at The Knuth Company. Look him up in Herb Wagner's book H-D 1930-1941 Revolutionary Motorcycles & Those Who Rode Them. Undoubtedly he and my grandfather crossed paths during club activities/competition, at Knuth's or even the Juneau Ave factory.
