1913 Harley Davidson Twin Model 9E

This 1911 Harley Davidson Model 9E is an incredibly rare find. Those in the hobby may remember this machine's history as it was formerly owned by the late Joe "Slow Joe" Gardella.

Mr. Gardella was a master machinist, and a meticulous rebuilder, restorer, and conservator of antique Harley Davidson motorcycles. He specialized in early 1910's-1920's Harley's along with some amazing knuckleheads from the 30's-40's as well. This 1913 Twin was one of his best early road going machines!

I do not know the extent of the work done inside the engine, but I know this entire bike was thoroughly rebuilt, ridden, and maintained as Joe would ride this bike extensively.

There is very nice original paint and plating present all over the bike. It really has the look of a nicely preserved piece of history!

This bike sat for about 2-3 years between the last time Joe ran it and when I got it running in early June 2026.

It starts very easily, but it will need a little bit of TLC and tuning before running and riding again I'm. This bike is 113 years old - it's amazing it has made it this far in this condition!

Make sure to check out my other motorcycles I've got listed - I will be adding some more amazing machines soon!
