Vintage Harley, Moto Guzzi Le Mans, Vincati

The 1915 Harley was the first model with a three-speed transmission and the bicycle-style pedal start. This is a magneto model, meaning no lights. (In 1915 they were an option, with electric or acetylene gas.) No front brakes or oil pump, either: It uses a constant oil dripper to keep the sump well lubricated. At sustained speeds above 45 mph or when there’s greater strain on the engine, You need to hand-pump extra oil.
