Default Harley on display

I was talking to me sister last night and her cell phone rang it was a friend of there that works at Dillon Brothers Harley. He was telling her that a guy came in today and was looking to buy five Harleys for his new sports bar that he is opening up. So he tells her that he bought there Harley that they traded in this last summer it was an 89 Springer softail (see picture) so my brother in-law was very existed to here that his Harley will be on display in this new Sports bar.

seems like a huge waste to have a bike just sitting on display, not being ridden, especially one as nice as that springer...

This reminds me of when they asked Ferdinand Porsche if he felt proud to see his cars in a famous museum. He answered that it made him feel sad...his cars were meant for the road.

Okay, this is serious business! There is a new bar opening (with MCs, no less) in Council Bluffs and I haven't heard about it. 1892 reopened as a German Bar. But, that probably isn't the one. Wayward, please reply here when you find it and I will do the same. (Where is the redeye?) Did you do Willie's pre-Sturgis ride last year?

I am sure they ain't but those wheels look just like the ones I had on my GSXR1100J back in '88 (the good ol' days). What are they off?
