Pic of My Dad's bike.

I was going through some photos in My Mom's trunk. I had been looking for this one for a long time. My Dad's Harley. The first Bike I rode on. Back seat of course.. I was only 9. I was playing in the garage, shouldnt have been. Some how I knocked it over. Took My Brother and 2 of his friends to get it up off the floor. They were early teens. My son knocked over My bike, (30 years later) I seen the same fear in his eyes as I had in Mine. Like father like son?

My sportster is nothing like His, but I enjoy it just the same. I recall Him driving it in the NY winters.

I cant say for sure what it was, I am still looking for the papers, he had it in a frame.. I have 3 trunks of odd's and ends. I will take a pic of My lil sporty tommorow. I dont have any of it as is. I did a few things since I bought it. Cleaned it, used some Mothers on the chrome, took off the shield, and also removed the saddle bags. Need a current photo or 3 for sure!
