Had a interesting ride last night with my Shovel buddies, setting at a outdoor pizza and beer joint that is a stop for bikers, we had 2 guys on Harley's ride in and approach us. Was having trouble understanding them when they sat down explaining they are from England and Germany working in Texas, said they had their bikes shipped to the east coast and riding to California. Turned out one of them was on a 98 Evo RK, they liked to ride, drink beer and even Tequila so we all became friends instantly. Took them on a ride and stopped off at another watering hole spending the rest of the day getting to know them and lots of laughing, they called my Shovel buddies wizards lol.
Another milestone was a maiden voyage for another buddies 1953 Panhead, it was found in a barn setting since 1984 and he had it running and riding it with the pack, a piece of history in motion.

Wizards are the bookends and represents OLD SCHOOL Shovel riders, middle guy has a Evo, Shovel and the Pan next to the group, guy in the back is the Ogre on a White Bike, guys without beards are the Wildhogs. Funny enough the beardless German on the right is a lawyer which fits the Wildhog theme but can he drink, didn't understand what the England guy on the left did but they both were smarter than us. Welcome to Merica, they got to ride with some Harley riders (wizards) I owe for teaching me the heritage of riding Harleys, I respect the hell out of those guys.

I’m going to take a guess. I’d say the two guys flanking the group.
1) I think I see “GB” on the white shirt sleeve, and
2) They’re not wearing HD shirts
That's the wizards, one the right usually wears a Hear No Evo, See No Evo shirt if I'm riding, wizard on the left sometimes but rarely wears a Harley shirt , 73 years old but rides like he is 18, I'm a fan. They both hate Twin Cams and dis-own me when I pull up on the Roadglide, I show them the radio and just shake their heads telling me to bring the White Bike next time.
