This mob do a yearly run .. Approx 150 Vintage bikes on the run ..   They came through my neck of the woods,, they  had lunch at Candelo NSW , on their run back to Jindabye ..  Thought you Classic guys might like the pics !!!! 

Can anyone tell what the bike below is  ????

Thanks for the pics Mark . Me and Ted saw heaps going to Jindy as we travelled to Corryong and Wodonga . Most ridden , some trailered .

That Harley is an XA model , they built a 1000 for evaluation in the early war years . Based on a flat head beamer with shaft drive .

Man is there some history there!!! Nice pics, thanks for sharing

Thanks for the pic's Mark. Mouth watering stuff. Love the Walla Chopper

Great pics, thanks for posting...

Thanks for the pics, great to see the old classics beeing used as they should.

It was a great weekend.

Thats me about pic number 14 with my helmet off on my white 1945 U model

Great picks Mark !, the bike you asked about looks 42' XA Model.Haven't seen many in OZ.

Love to do it one day but my bikes are to new

Tim and Keith, you are both correct ... Approx 1100 made for the US army, during WW2 ,, but the army stuck with the WLA ... Would'nt be many in Aust ,, and no doubt ,, they would be scarce in the US ...

Harley's may have been a hell of a lot different, (engine wise),, today, if the US army went with the XA instead of the WLA during WW2 ...

Thanks for the photo's Mark they are great.

I know someone who owns one of the XA models I seen it a few times but because it is so rare it's more of a shed bike than a road bike, btw love the WLA chop.

Great bunch of photos, I saw a heap of those bikes when they were on their way from Sydney just outside of Picton.

There was an XA up for Auction at Shannons Sydney Auction 2014 that is the first one I had ever seen in the flesh

I will be aiming to do it next year on WLA and sidecar that just needs to be painted.

Great photos, love the Flathead chop too.

Hot shit.
