“They are unique three-wheel motorcycle my family made from 1932 all the way to 1973,” said Davidson Oeflein. “The bikes were so well received Harley-Davidson made the same model for over 40 years.”
Davidson Oeflein explained, “My great-grandfather, Walter Davidson started overseeing their production and then my grandfather took over the duties in 1942. They were used by many businesses for many different functions. They could even be ordered with a tow bar on the front so they could be towed behind a car. Police departments used many for parking enforcement and general patrol.”
There will be several police models on the run. The Badger Chapter of the Antique Motorcycle Club of America has lover 200 members that love old bikes.
