Knucklehead Anniversary Ride Updates 7/2/11

The 75th Knucklehead Anniversary ride is all set and locked in for the weekend of the 4-6th March 2011 with 35 Knuckleheads from around Australia and New Zealand knuckle1registered to attend.

Event Organiser, Kendal Maroney, has confirmed that a Knucklehead for every year of production between 1936  to 1947 will be participating. Motorcycles will be on display at Harley City, Brunswick on Saturday 5th March 2011 between 8.30 am to 9.30 am before their departure northwards via the scenic  route  to Milawa.

Two motorcycles of note participating are:

  • A  1942 ELA in original livery of Cruiser Green and one of only eight ELAs produced in 1942.
  • A 1943 FL restored example which is one of 33 FLs produced in 1943. It has been painstakingly restored and reflects the limitations during the WW2 production period.

Beyond these two are another 33 Knuckleheads, each has its own story which will be told over the March weekend and for many years beyond. Participants are looking forward to an exciting riding and celebratory weekend  and to be part of Harley Davidson in Australia folklore.

If you have an interest in Knuckleheads you should head to Harley City on Saturday 5th March 2011 from 8.30 am to see an event 75 years in the making.
