My one large piece of Harley art, signed by the artist and numbered. Think it's an Anniversary piece supposedly limited to one per dealer. The imagery and symbolism are meaningful to me. Set as late 1930's, a father and son look east where the clouds of war are gathering and winds of war are beginning to blow. Both seem to know they will soon have to fight. (BTW the Russian girlfriend thinks this is awesome and she's an artist, a relative of Nicolai Fechin. She will stand quietly gazing at it)




This smaller one sits on the workbench. Why? Because I had an FXWG.




ETA This may be craft, not art but I like it.

David Mann's drawings are always pretty cool to me. They remind me of the issues of Easy Rider that I have boxed up.

This one, because I've chosen riding motorcycles over women and stable relationships my whole life. I have the best woman I've ever had right now and she's smart enough not to ask me to choose.

I would want something along the lines of the very cool "think differently" ad campaign by Apple but for Harley. Basically a Harley for a non-Harley guy. No tats, minimal leather, just want to ride. A subculture within a subculture where a Sportster is just as cool as the latest Milwaukee 8.

Well, I'm kinda prejudiced being a lifetime Dave Mann freak, so I like the reflection pic.

Guess I have great taste because I love them all!

Sitting here in my living room on the iPad looking at a David Mann hanging on my wall. But it dos not have any motorcycles. A different kind of HORSE Power.

"Peace on Blue Lake"

The wife picked that one out and we both like it.
