Robby and Jim
Robby has a 93 fatboy (where I got the wheels for 16" on front of dyna thread)
Jim has a 2000 Duece
jim has a 1999? FXDX
jim has a 2004 or 5 Road king
He just keeps collecting them too.
He had more but ran out of room in his garage. so he sold them off.

RE: A face behind a bike ...
Those are some great photo's Mud! I love to see bikes when they were bikes. Not a fad. Anymore I think the "old school" has got lost somewhere, you know? Everything that these famous guys are doing "new" to bikes ,people have to realize that it's already been done before. Excellent pictures once again! Production builders cant grasp the old school look without blood, sweat, tears, your life being on and around the machine. Hell, it's you the rider / builder (in desperate times) fabricator that make the bike. Not 300 dollar bolt ons. The bolt ons we have now are from guys like this that made whatever they had or foundwork. These bikes you show here actually meant something, expressed something. Not bought to be traded in in a year when the fad ran out. Hell your photos are of guys that didnt give a ****. LOL Lets see more from everyone out there.

I'm the guy with the short extra-round T-shirt standing between the bike and the work van.
Good Luck

RE: A face behind a bike ...
Well, the title did say face BEHIND the bike. 
I'm behind my Wide Glide, which is hidden behind my buddy's Goldwing. We are in Bandera, TX on a run up to Leakey to eat breakfast. The ride got cut short because the road was under construction and we had to basically ride through wet, packed road-base so now my bike looks like it was the center of a mud-wrestling contest. Plus we had one guy go down and tear up his bike enough to need a truck to haul it back. Not much riding that day...
