Default 1951 Harley FL

This bike is listed on our local classifieds. Pretty nice old bike. Thought some of the guys here might enjoy looking at it.

thanks Mopar, it has the same birth year as I do.
So that's what they looked like in '51. It think it has aged better than me.

Now that is a find. Beautiful bike. I want it. I may have to sell one of my Rods to get one of those.
