1973 , I was 19, my second bike.



1984, 10 years younger than I, my then 18 year old brother on his first road trip . On his own harley and had been riding 7 weeks when this was taken. We're at the highest point on the Trail Ridge rd in Estes Park Co. Was a 3000+ mi. trip for him. From KC Mo. to Sturgis, down through eastern Co. back to KC then him soloing back Baltimore MD.

He became my traveling partner after that, we went on to some crazy adventures on future road trips.

Same brother Shawn, this was the epic 1988 6 week Europe road trip we did. Shipped the bikes over and sold them before we left, paid for the trip. Pic was taken inside a 900 yr old bar in a town in Holland outside Amsterdam, the tall guy is Dagger and his 18 yr old girlfriend Mouse, and yes that was her real name. We found this place by accident, turned out Dagger was pres of the local MC club and owned the bar, he put us up and showed us a very good time for several days, Mouse passed 3 yrs ago and lost touch with Dagger.

Ever need to get over a divorce I highly recommend something like this.

’85 FXRS, in ’85. When MSRP was $8500 and they could be bought for $7500.

Fingerless gloves added 12 horsepower.

Here are a few.
I have more, I just need to find them.

My 1st street legal bike. 1966 Ducati. The guy on the back is my Ole Man (RIP)

Myself and a old running mate Brian. We were tight when we were kids. I had a lot of fun on that Honda CL90

My 64 Pan. It was my first Harley. The other bike is a Suzuki T-500 Titan that I sold to my Ole Man (the guy sitting on it) to get the money I needed to buy the Pan.

Just thought I'd throw this in here. It's the pisser in the Cubs Dugout at Wrigley Field.

1984 FXST with a trailer I made. I could haul a ton of **** with it. Rode the hell out that bike and to this day, I kick myself in the *** for letting it go. It took me from Seattle to Sturgis and back in 1987 and never missed a beat.



Gotta throw a 1 finger salute in the mix. This is me while I was going to MMI in Phoenx in 1988.

My dad on the left with his 50 something, he can't remember exactly what Harley model it was.







Dad's 1980 Sportster. Only thing he ever bought brand new and he said it spent more time in the shop than on the road. Didn't keep it long since he got laid off a year after buying it. I'd like to find another one eventually.
