Default Old '73

Last week I received an amazing letter from a Army buddy I haven't seen in 40 years, and he was trying to get our unit back together for a reunion. On the facebook page we've been posting old photo's from the time. One of the guys posted this old picture of me in '73 on my new Electraglide. I thought it was cool.

I sold it to a buddy of mine for a whopping $800 when I left Germany and bought a new one in 76 at Ft Ord Ca. I only paid $3200 new for it,and rode it for 4 years all over Europe.
