Title: The first York PA Sportster
Post by: ohiorider on March 15, 2018, 08:12:08 AM

A few years ago, I met the folks that own this motorcycle.  I was out on a day trip with a neighbor who'd recently lost his wife, and we'd planned a short trip to his hometown of Greenville, PA to visit some of his family members.  His sister-in-law suggested I'd like to see the Harley owned by friends of the family.  OK .................. (I'm thinking .... a Harley??)

Big surprise.  We went into their house and downstairs to the game room, and there she sat.

I think the article says it all quite well, so here's the link to it.  I have a couple of pics of the bike on an older cell phone (somewhere) but they're similar to the pics in the article.

Thought some of you Sportster buffs would like to learn about this unique bike.
