Default Rocker at the H-D museum

Well went to the H-D museum Couple weeks ago. Lot's of bikes to see. I took lots of pic's and for the most part enjoyed the experience. The highlight for me being a Rocker owner , was the design lab part of the museum who's main focus was on the design of the rocker. So thought I would post a few of those pic's. I apoligize for the quality of the pic's , new camera and lots of them are behind glass and refelection seemed to cause some issues. So hope you enjoy them I edited them for brightness and contrast in photoshop the best I could.
