Interesting photo of the ex- hillclimber, now road bike with a sidecar body which appears identical to,one I just had made. that's pretty cool that someone in what appears to be quite an old photo ran what is presumably a factory 2 cam competition machine on the street. reminds me of that photo of the German 8 valve H.D. with flex pipe exhausts and lights etc. Maybe it's a German tradition as post ww2 BMW made a one off ohc Rennsport racer into a road burner with lights for Walter Zehl I believe

Danish Racer

The "DAR" type machine with the rear cowling is another interesting one. Is that one of Friis-Hansen's bikes by chance? Do you know anything about its history? Is that the bike you PM'd about that a guy tracked down?

[glaser 31]

yes this is one of Friis-Hansens bikes.this is not the one I pm you about.
This bike I pm you about was the one in the I beam fork threads with Morian setting on.But this here with the rear cowling on,we think that I have some of the parts from it.Also trying to find out about the story on it....but we are 50years late out...

I'll dig out Friis-Hansen stuff and see if we can figure out if cowled bike is one mentioned or if it's another one.

How many "DAR/DAH" type machines did Friis-Hansen race?

[glaser 31]

I dont know how many they had,but I will see what I can find out.
This hill climb picture,we will try and enlarge up to see if its possible to read the engine number.
The worst thing I done is that 20 years ago I was out with an old man looking fore a model J frame.But when I saw that it had 3 bars back and no frame under the engine,said I to him that it not was orginal,he claimed it was orginal.I went from it...How stupid can you be,and yes I have been back,but man and frame was long gone.
If you find these numbers when you are looking,plese let me know
19R1432*
28jdl930*
29jda998*

Yes, we all have stories like that. We're lucky to have gotten what we did.

Re: numbers.

No offence, but those numbers are crazy!

Can you post photos of those numbers on the "Oddball Har-Dav Number" thread and I will comment on them there. If they are orig. H-D factory they are very strange. Are these more motors from Denmark?

WOW. I really like the look of that nasty little number.Is that a CAC type cast alloy tank ? Hard to tell from the picture and I suppose a little to early for that.

30 BAF dual port motor

here is one more bike
with Morian and Knud Larsen

http://s814.photobucket.com/albums/z...senmaj1931.jpg

from what I can see,looks like a 1930,BAF dual port,ohv ,dirt track or grass track racer,with a S- model front end?

[glaser 31]

yes this is danish engines,I will post some photos.
did you see the photos of the forks I told you about.
here is a danish 8 valve,the man on the photo is Henry Erlind,
must be a bike from Friis Hansen.

Danish 8 valve

Glaser, what cool news, a Danish 8 valve. This was something I never have heard of or seen mentioned before.
Can you provide some more information on this?
How does this info match the knowledge of ie Jurassic or Harley Creation regarding where there was 8 valves?
Could this be one of the Swedish 8 valves that went on to Denmark on its way to England?

Nice eight-valve photo. I can't think of seeing info on a Danish eight-valve, but I'll keep my eyes open.

Friis-Hansen must have been some live wire. You guys ought to collect information about him and compile his story.

If you post photos of the serial numbers (below) on the "oddball Har-Dav" thread, could you please also post some of the belly numbers?

Comparing side and belly numbers will help us confirm what the numbers might mean. All three appear to be strange (oddball) models or numbers.

no doubt that he was big harley dealer,he started around 1916.
I have asked a lot of people what they know about them,and if they had any
photos,thats how I got some of the photos.
I will post the photos of the belly numbers in the next couple of days.
I have many special things,like this hand clutch fore the JD,
sow you can have a lever on the handelbar fore the clutch..
