Funny, they were two different colors. And I don't think there were store bought fingerless gloves back then, so I did it myself.

1973 XLCH bought new in fall of '72. After me it went through several hands within my family and finally came back to me abut five years ago. Currently being restored by the guy in the Nemo shirt (this is an old picture).

First Harley was a '63, ex Seattle police bike. Since I was a little kid I'd always loved the big twin sound. Started out on a '75 KZ 400, wound up on a BSA that got rear ended and totaled. I was shopping for a bike with the insurance pay out, when I found the '63 at Downtown Harley. Paid $800. Stolen in 1990. Met some interesting people on that ride.

5100 miles in 12 years? Why didn't you ride it?
