Things to do in the snow...

After shoveling a shit load of snow I took the Family Trikester out for a 30 mile cruise hitting a few favorite taverns along the way to warm up. When I got home my youngest son (17) had to go for a spin too. (I'm not sure about his choice of foot wear). He froze his ass off but had a great time. Things are looking up!

Winter


Blasted with snow. Well at least after tomorrow the days will start getting longer...ever so slightly but it keeps me sane just to know it.
Arizona sounds good about now.

Pearl Harbor Day



I have been remiss.
This is the first Pearl Harbor Day in almost 20 years that I haven't taken the old WWII "U" Model out for a spin. I stole the military Knuckle tanks of it in the spring for my 41 Knuck Hydra Bob and never got to putting the flathead tanks back on.

Rubber Mounter HD Risers

From the 1950 Harley-Davidson Accessory catalog.
Odd - There is no picture or mention of the top link stabilizer.
$35.00...I'll take 10 sets of each please!
Where's my time machine? Come to think of it that was alot of money in 1950.

First Snow






First snow.
I had to take the the 52 servi-car out last night and do donuts in the bar parking lot like a 16 year old. I found it like this in the driveway this morning. Had this thing since I was a kid and it's probably seen more snow then pavement.

WW II stuff


WLA's coming up the road




I don't know about you but using a WLA gas tank on it's side is not my idea of good cover...and what exactly is that young lady referring to?


The day after Thanksgiving was cold and windy. I spent about 12 hours in front of the TV watching a "Band of Brothers" marathon. That inspired me to throw some WWII post cards and ads into the scanner. Pearl Harbor Day is right around the corner.
