HARLEY-DAVIDSON SINGLE Passes Searching Test of , ~ English Expert Opinion A remarkable tribute to the new Harley-Daviclson Single wag paid by the "Motor Cycle. ' the authoritative organ of British motor-cycling. Writing-on December 3rd after the machine had undergone a searching tost 'on snow-covered Camberly Heath,, the English. journal (which is. not likely to be biased in favour of American manufactures) said: — Although it is not the first American 350 c.c. machine to...reach this, country, the arrival of tho 346 c.c. Harley-Davidson been partioirtat y■■ . keenly, anticipated on.account of the high reputation n» B l’J ta, . n t: > twins from the same factory. The fact "that - HarleyrDavadspn, _ forko , figure so prominently on racing big twins at Brooklands is one or tne est compliments any firm could desire. The 350 c.c. Harley-Davidson is an ideal colonial 'machine, and it is only fair to acknowledge to America tho full credit for evolving it. massive frame, sturdy and simple engine, enclosed valve gear, ce. handle-bars, foolproof gears, high ground clearance, and, above an, u c superlative steering and poise, are just tho qualities to commend ..e machine very strongly to the overseas buyer In search for a smalt so machine. - Like earlier Harley-Davidsons, it is a machine which.'will, Stand-.a groat deal of abuse, and should*.last witliout.'expert attention foi a ery long time. '..lt has peculiar points which the British riderr may rat.nei hastily criticise until he has sampled the machine for some time-butrit is safe to predict that lie will end on a note of praise.
