My very first Harley was a 1956 Hydra Glide. The picture is similar to the one I had, except I had a windshield and buddy saddle on it. Yellow and black. I joined a club whose official bike color was chrome, so I chromed the fenders and tanks. It would be neat to still have it, but it was a bear to ride compared to my Ultra.

1981 Sportster/Roadster. Superglide tank, forward controls. Great for just me. Got rid of it to upgrade to the 1983 FL I still have. Had a 1963 pan/rigid that I built and rode around the same time. rode and owned it up until this past January 2008. Don't miss it. Screw that quirky and antiquated technology. Getting to old and fat to be jumping up and down sweating like a stuck pig. Covered in grease all the time.
