This ‘42 750cc Harley-Davidson WLA was used as an instructional tool for mechanics in World War II, with cutaway views of brakes, flywheels, and valve gear. As you might imagine, since these machines didn’t run, very few survived—

and that’s what makes this bike special. It was recovered from Greece, and our example is fitted with shovels, canteens, tool kits, a map from the Normandy invasion—and a machine gun.
