Someone apparently told Jeff Decker that his bronze statue of a hill climber at the Harley museum is exaggerated. His response? These photos from the 1930s showing that it’s anything but.

    I like that they wear spiffy caps as their only gear to go loop out big v-twins.

    ‘Hmm, hillclimb today, should I go with my tweed or the wool cap?’

    Sorry, just reminds me of non-paved parking at Laguna Seca.
    Think I saw this guy in the parking lot just south of the Hill of Doom http://www.hogwildracing.com/bike.shtml
