A young mechanic just bought a 1913 Harley, and couldn't use it in the winter, so... he re-purposed it as a snow machine in the winters
It was about this time [1911] that the demon motorcycle was evolved and one of Ames' young mechanics, Harlan Ramey, bought one. He and another daredevil, Bill Thull, could be seen streaking over the countryside on their noisy steeds. The cycling costume had tight legginged trouser and cap that generally had to be worn brim backward, for the early cycle had no windshield at all. Some inventive youngsters refused to give up sport even come winter and so they made a homemade motor bob. Niva Nichols rode in the back seat.

good looking Harley
I could be wrong, but it appears to be "aged" paint, and it's sitting outside an airbrush company booth
1916 Harley Davidson was shipped in a crate, and delivered as freight, here is how they looked in the box

Keep in mind, that in 1916 when this bike was shipped in a crate, and assembled by the happy new customer, they were still using telegraph wires to order from the motorcycle facotries http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/06/nik-carrosantigoswordpresscom-finds.html
1928 Harley JD
the bike is very nice, of course, but what I really admire is the red panel paint, and how the curves on each piece accentuate the curves of the entire bike segments, and how as you go from the side to the front, change from curves to straight lines, and still flow along together
Superman likes a '62 pan
Skid and Sandy visited the "Wheels Through Time" museum, and posted a gallery, here's a sample
see the gallery and post at http://skid1850.blogspot.com/2012/05/maggie-valley-wheels-through-time-and.html
but they hardly scratched the surface, and actually didn't do it justice! for a much better gallery and a fantastic look at the incredible things inside the museum: http://goodsparkgarage.com/wheels-through-time-vintage-motorcycle-museum/#more-5525
