So a lot of you wanted to see his reaction to me giving Matt the Harley. I will warn you, his reaction was a bit anti climatic. I truly think he was in shock. it is very hard to hear the audio, but you will get the drift. I was happy to be able to give it to him and I know he is very grateful. we had an awesome trip to Sturgis and we bonded as I had hoped we would. for those of you who didn't see my original post, this was the morning we left for Sturgis and I gave my son my 04 CVO electra glide that I bought partially with money from when my dad passed. so the bike was a gift from me, my wife and my pops to my son.

They look like Akoury or Crazy Als. I just picked up the Carbon Fiber Crazy Als and love it. Super light and supposedly DOT legal. I say supposedly as I doubt either would pass the test, but it has the sticker.

Not sure but I tried on a crazy al's. While overall its small, it doesnt hug the skull like the ones these guys are wearing.. And my outlaw helmet (preban) comes in pretty close to size of the crazy al.

I remember reading about this back when you were talking about giving him the bike. Everyone had their opinion on how and when you should give the bike. I had forgot about this and am sure glad you posted about it again. Love it. and Love the matching Ink. Glad it all went well and your bonding time will never be forgotten.
Post some more pics when you get a chance.
