Actually, that picture was made in 1982. The bike was a 1975 XLCH. In those days HD did not make that many bikes, so you were lucky to have one. The dealership that I now go into and wade through bikes, used to make you order them and they never had a new bike on the floor for you to see. (By the way, the T-Shirt says, "I own a Harley, not just a T-Shirt.")

OP - Know what I like best about your picture? (I had an Ironhead sporty too).
We didn't worry about:
Am I a poser?
Do I need ***-less chaps or fingerless gloves?
Which MCycle jacket do I need?
etc
etc
We just rode..............
Thanks for sharing a great photo.
