    That is one beautiful, rare, and stunning machine. The Zahners were true motorcycle lovers and collectors.

    Beautiful. Opposed engine, shaft drive, the XA was closer to the Goldwing of the future, than the Harley of the future ! Cool beans, Ken !!

    I have a Ukrainian friend who grew up in the Soviet Union and he told me that most of the Harley XA bikes made their way to the Soviets after war and most of them are still running and driving

    This is heaven just living with machines that are born from the vintage era of proper iron horse hardware that is built to last and live forever just through good care and admirations of appreciation for bikes that were born to love and enjoy the things of a artistic kreation that was thought up by the wise men who built these manmade beautys are heaven on earth to be appreciated this is where it all started was vintage hardware

    Incredible....besides the obvious, one thing that stuck out was how long the gearing is. Sounds like there's at least 25 m.p.h. for every gear.🏆

    When I saw that thing come out of Bakersfield... I had no idea HD had made horizontally opposed flat-twin motors... What you've done with it is make it better than new, collector grade UNOBTANIUM 💸 DON'T TAKE LESS THAN A MILLION FOR IT😅

    If it doesn’t get better and it gets worse, they have to cut it off but it looks like it’s on the road to recovery. I’d say you’ll need more than just pills. You’ll need a gram of penicillin every day intravenously for about 30 days maybe less if you have a really good immune system not funny. Imagine a gram of penicillin every day for 30 days. You will feel like a junkie after.😢
