I'm going to post some photos of my friend Joe. Here he is winning an 80" race on his 55" KHR. H-D credit. After he smoked the 45" Expert Class. 1954. Erik K

Nice! To think just a few years before they would have been racing big twins in that class.

Somewhere in my things I've got an unopened can of beer signed by Joe..

Well, unfortunately for them it was the 80" class with mainly Big Twins that Joe beat with the 55" KHR. Widowmaker...so If you were wondering which bike is witch...here's a guide, 1st photo, Joe on the 45" working. Joe on the 55" cruising both to win Peoria, Aug 1954. SO the 98 with the tail on the 9 is the 55"KHR. And here's my Joe Beer. The atmospheric pressure makes sealed containers from SoCal crush up here. Have no idea why... ;) and an early win for young Joe 3rd photo.
