Motorcycle History

So, I ran across an April Fools Day prank post today. It was good job of writing up a fake press release regarding a Harley/BMW merger deal. The references in it to developing a Road King with a Boxer motor reminded me that H-D once did make a bike with an opposed twin engine. The XA, produced for use during WWII. For you viewing pleasure, I have found a photo of the engine (courtesy of Wikipedia, hopefully they'll let me hotlink it.).
