Damaged during the battle, the bike was repaired and returned to service with the 4th AD, taking part in the “Battle of the Bulge”. This motorcycle was placed in the 4th AD museum for over 40 years.
The bike was sold from the 4th Armored Division museum in Germany. After a restoration period this bike again runs and takes part in many historical events.
