Here is my dad (on the left), his sister and her soon-to-be husband. Picture was taken in April of 1944.

Thanks for sharing the pictures guys. I too love the old time pictures. Definitely "timeless"!
Every month when I get the latest AIM most people check the tech articles or the latest custom bikes well, I always turn to the last page to see the "Harley Memories".

Just proof HDs were made to customize (even back in the 50's).

Great pics guys. My Dads Dad was a junk collector back when. He bought an old police auction Harley Servi-car to haul junk around in. I wish I had a pic of him on it.
