In  The Harley In the Barn, Brad Bowling, shares what could be a completely unique story about a hidden Harley.

 

In the case of Steve Barber's 1957 Harley-Davidson FLH, the traditional barn-find story takes a twist worthy of an Edgar Allan Poe thriller - in fact, it reads a lot like Poe's 1846 short story, "The Cask of Amontillado." Poe's super-creepy tale of a nobleman who kills a deceptive friend by building a stone wall around him in his dungeon has scared many a high school sophomore, but we do not know if the Harley's first owner drew inspiration from that plot or acted on his own.

 

What is documented is that "Hank" was a successful Pittsburgh businessman when he bought a fully loaded '57 FLH. As if having the "Cadillac of motorcycles" wasn't enough, Hank fired a stream of dollars into the Harley dealership's parts department, which hung every accessory imaginable on the big cruiser, including Harley's King of the Highway package, a wide-whitewall Goodyear front tire, Big Bertha saddlebags, Super Soft DeLuxe Buddy seat, Guide DH-49 turn signal kit, lots of extra chrome, and some aftermarket pieces from Beck, Buco, and Superior.
