| Dragon eats Durango in first curve on Friday night, August 24, 2001. Skid marks indicate the final seconds before impact with vertical rock face at Fugitive Bridge. The anti-lock brakes seemed to have helped with a straight skid. Note the arrow in photo above indicating the road turns to the right. How could anyone miss that? Occupants escaped serious injury. Durango was not so lucky. |

1942 Harley at the Gap .... no it's not a Beemer. This photo created some controversy, but Charlie Price identifies it as a 1942 Harley-Davidson Model XA. Origanally designed for military use in WW 2, designed after BMW. It was dropped because of the introduction of the Jeep, which took the place of motorcycles for military use because of the Jeep's manueverabilty and ability to carry more personnell and equipment than a motorcycle.

Thanks to Charles M. Price for the link below that describes this bike
http://www.ama-cycle.org/museum/1999/classfeb.html
But then we heard from Denis Lutman :Being familiar with both bikes, I feel obligated to write you that Charlie Price is mistaken. The bike shown in both these photos is very obviously a BMW with a Harley gas tank, and specifically, I think it is a short wheelbase R60 or R75. Other features proving the bike is not a Harley XA are: 1. Telescopic forks - The Harley used a type of girder fork for the XA. This bike has telescopic forks. 2. Valve arrangement - The Harley XA was a flathead cylinder design with side valves.This bike has overhead valves as clearly shown by the valve covers clearly shown in both photographs. 3. Aircleaner - The Harley XA used an oilbath aircleaner. This bike has a paper filter element inside the cover which is connected to the carbs by long manifolds.
The discussion continues......
Sorry pal but the XA had side valves; this is either a Beemer or Ural, sporting over head valves.....Jim Pearce
