MIKE WOLFE'S BIKES

Mike Wolfe is living a life most people who follow this blog would love to have - Traveling the country and having almost unlimited access to all the "treasures" we could only dream of finding.

I was made aware of his passion for old bicycles and motorcycles through his show, American Pickers, but this passion goes beyond WWII-era Harley's and Indian's.  He owns a cornucopia of rare rusty, early 20th century bad-ass machines.

Here he is sportin’ Vintage Engineer Boots and vintage Chore coat on his pre-war (pre-WWI, that is) Harley Davidson.

His 1912 Indian Boartracker

I wouldn't even take this 1913 Indian out of the crate.  I'd hang it up in my livingroom...as-is.

    What kind of engineer boots does he wear on the show? They look like seal brown no-harness.
