Default First Harley

I'm sure its been done before here, but here's mine.
After the 750 Norton in High School I wanted a Harley. I couldn't wait to save for my dream new '72 Super Glide, so I got this '46 Knuckle in a '54 wishbone frame. For a rigid, it handled well on the windy northern Calif mountain and coastal roads.
