Harley-Davidson - even though the paint job suggests it might be a 1920s JDH, It looks to have a side valve engine so might be a 45 cubic inch Model D??

I think it's a 1932/33 Harley-Davidson Model R (45ci/750cc), it's not a model J because it has a sidevalve engine and it's not a model V(L) because the secondary drive is at the right hand side

From the tank badge I would guess about 1936 Model R.

Harley Davidson "Flathead" ( 1936 VLH ? ) Link to "www.midamericaauctions.com" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO_SHf80-WY same year knucklehead came, but Flathead had to keep on with business

I think this is the smaller 45 cubic inch Model D or its replacement (Model R?).

Half a Sinner

Harley-Davidson. The logo is distinctive for the models of late 1930s. This logo was used from 1936 to 1939 only. The bike is a side valve model so is possibly a WL? The engine does not look big enough to the bigger U or V.

it the predecessor of the model W, the Harley-Davidson model R (750cc) as built in 1936
