The Triple Shovel � The mechanical marvel of the world’s first Harley-Davidson three-cylinder motorcycle.
.
Brian Keating of the Keating Wheel Co., is a steward of some of the rarest and most interesting motorcycles in the country. One of, if not THE rarest, is this Harley-Davidson triple-cylinder shovelhead FXE that was built in the 1980s by New Hampshire native Bobbie Labrie with the same “tool shed ingenuity” as the original H-D. The engineering behind the internals of the engine remains a mystery to this day, though we can attest to the fact that it does indeed run and the third head pipe will burn your naysaying fingertips.
