If Gimli, the dwarf from the Lord of the Rings movies, rode a Harley... LOL
Meet my old buddy Wolf. His younger brother (sadly gone now to cancer) and I played football together back in high school. He and his old pan head are pretty much a local legend around here. No it's not exactly "stock" anymore, but he's been riding this same bike for more than 45 years. The motor is a '66 and is the 3rd one to be put on the frame, he wore them out riding all over the country. When I told him he needed to break down and get a new seat, he told me his *** didn't care what the seat looked like. LOL
Now at 73, this picture speaks a thousand words about the roads he's been down and the friends that have fallen by the wayside through the years.
