Hi Adam and welcome to our little club.I really like your bike and I'm sure your one of the few if that many in Europe that owns one. I'm sure it will attract a lot of interest where ever you ride it. I'm glad you found us and I'm sure the experts here can help with any questions or service needs you may have. At the same time we may be needing some expertise from you on the DKW front. In the mean time you can check out the pictures of a lot of the members bikes and swap meet/show gatherings. Again, welcome and stay in touch and how about some more pictures of your different bikes. Were really short on information on what all came out of DKW design besides the Harley's and BSA Bantams. Thanks,John. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Hi to all Harley Hummer riders ;) My name is Adam and I'm from Poland in Europe. I collect motorcycles based on DKW RT 125. I already own: Russian Moskva M1A, Polish Sokół 125 and German DKW RT 125. I've just managed to buy Harley Hummer B built in 1958. Engine number is 58B1744. It has been brought from USA to Germany about 20 years ago. It hasn't been driven for this time but has been standing on exhibition. It's in great and original condition. The odometer shows only 770 miles. The tires are also original and almost unused. Braking pads look like new. My Hummer is equipped with some additional parts, like toolbox, speedometer and safety guard. The only thing that should not be in my Harley is horn holder welded to the frame - as I know it should not be there in 1958. There are some small parts or bolts to change but generally I'm not going to reconstruct it and will leave it in as found condition. I've got a question to all of you. Do you know how many Hummers there are in Europe or in Poland? I didn't find any information about it. Best regards from Poland, Adam |
