Iron Horse Saloon and Social Club





Worth looking in if you're out at Springfield, I imagine.

Here are some snaps taken at the Iron Horse Saloon and Social Club in Savanna, Illinois.
The place is run by a guy called Gerry who has a fantastic collection of classic and vintage dirt and hill climb bikes. My camera is not the latest so I apologise for the image quality.
If you are ever out that way, it is worth a detour.
Keep the shale flyin'

Crazy that this is on here...this place is like 30 minutes from my house. About 4 hours from Springfield...maybe 2.5 hours from Peoria.

That third pic down has a plaque saying '1935 Factory Harley-Davidson', but the motor is clearly a unit BSA twin. Can't quite work out which one because that business of twin inspection plugs close together isn't common, though I have seen it before - maybe a period modification?

well (train) spotted Mick
I guess a 650 Spitfire???
Extra DIY inspecion holes would be easy enough to make in the primary cover.

BP - could be a Spitfire motor, though many don't have that type of chaincase, though I did find a pic of one that does:

Tried a bit of html mark-up to make the link live, if it doesn't work, just ignore the stuff in square brackets.
