Great pic FXD2003Rider. Thanks for sharing! I gotta tell you something that I've been meaning to share with ya for a bit. Every time I see a post of yours I can't help but notice the Netherlands region it says you're posting from. I have nothing but great times and memories in that region. I've been there a few times. But it's been about 5 years now. Curse the financial loses involved in building a new home.
On a funny side note: I remember my first time going to the Dutch Hells Angels Bar in the Red Light District. Walked in there with a buddy, hadn't even made it as far as sitting down to order my first (and only) beer before some lady with 'her man' yells out in her rudest of voices to me "Take off that Jacket if you plan on staying in here!" lol...I guess it was a little too fancy for the occasion, and not made out of leather. Needless to say, we didn't feel too welcome there...We had one fast beer and left.
Oh yeah!...Back on topic now: My father bought his frist Harley when he was 15 and working at a gas station. He later managed at a Harley dealer for some time. Bought himself an '86 lowrider brand new and taught me how to ride it by myself when I was 12 years old. Looking back on things now, I don't know what he was thinking letting me hop on his bike and take off for 5-10 minutes at a time when I was only 12. FWIW, they were back country roads near where he use to camp in the summers.
Needless to say, he wasn't too pleased when my first 4 bikes weren't Harleys. I was stubborn. And now that I finally have one, he tells me bikes are dangerous and I shouldn't ride. Go figure. Too late pops...you're the one that tossed it in my blood.
