    Buster Keaton Sherlock Jr. 1924. In this flick, everything else gets trashed--except the motorcycle! https://youtu.be/Cp5fTvEWdh4

    Bonus points to anyone who can positively identify the year of that Harley. Personally, I don't think it can be done because it's mixed years of parts. The front fork is pre-1920, the front fender is post 1920. The tanks look like early narrow tanks, and the rear fender looks like a 1918 and later one-piece stamping with no flap. Oh yeah, and the bike does get trashed at the end; which makes me believe the director didn't like the first take which destroyed the front end. They used a pre '20 fork, and later valanced fender to make the bike useable for the second take, and then really smashed it good.
