Picture this: You found one of your wishlist bikes, and you showed up at the appointed place and time to have a look. Then, to your surprise, you found a different bike sitting next to it that you’ve wanted forever. It wasn’t what you went there to look at, but you know you’ll be kicking yourself if you don’t at least make an offer. So, you do—and to your delight, the seller accepts. Money changes hands, and you end up going home with a dream you didn’t expect to even meet today.
That’s basically the short version of how the SRK Cycles guys ended up with a Harley-Davidson WLA back in September, 2021. Despite having a history that involved spending decades in a junkyard before coming into the hands of its previous owner, the bike was a runner—but the SRK guys knew it needed more TLC. As they started to delve into this WLA’s charms and mysteries, though, they soon realized there was way more to the story than they understood.
