In 1979, two 1944 H-Ds were discovered in the basement of a house in the town of Martinez in Northern California, left behind by a legend with a prosthetic leg. Removing the layers of dust that had accumulated revealed two 1944 motorcycles. One, a Knucklehead, went to Greg Wood, and the other, a Flathead, went to Mark Wiebens. The two bikers have been inseparable since the‘60s and have continued riding the two war-period H-Ds into this century. Ken Nagahara from our Bay Area branch got the scoop!
