RE: Old Pics (70's)
Thanks to all of you for posting your old pics. I fell in awe of Harley's in 1959 when my friend gave me a ride on his Sportster (XLH I think?). I was 15 at the time and had a Cushman Eagle. I remember watching Easy Rider at the theatre when I was in college and that did it for me. Seeing these old pictures brought back many memories. Now, on the other side of 60 and on my third Harley, those old memories drift through my head as I roll down the road on my Low. Again, thanks for starting a terrific thread.

RE: Old Pics (70's)
Got my 1st Harley now and my best bike. I got a few metrics in my past. Here are a couple of them.
Fun bikes but I have moved on. Please excuse the 2 stroke!!
