My Grandparents rode horses and the occasional tractor. Your wife's are much cooler than mine.

Yes, mine too, got a photo just about like this one of my grandfather standing by his mule, just as proud, taken just outside of Oral S.D., take a side trip next year @ Sturgis and ride through there.

And I have been in, through, around and under every farm building within 5 miles of where the photo of the H-D was taken, never found a piece of that old Harley, don't know what happened to it.
