I saw an article years ago that stated the most rare Harley was a completely stock Harley that had never had anything changed on it.

We went through the place last spring, was well the worth the time. I think I spent nearly four hours going through everything and the best part is that everything in there actually runs.

Did they say if that Traub runs?

It says in the article that the museum it's at keeps them maintained in running condition and regularly starts the bikes for the visitors. So my guess would be yes...

Very cool!
