Dad asked me this weekend if I wanted to buy his (and my grandfather's before that) Harley. I told him I'd be happy to, so I guess it's mine now!

Looks like a Shovelhead, what year?

Not sure if any of you have seen this one before, but it is well done.
Good eye! It is. It's a 1971 FLH, formerly a police bike. I've got all the plastic saddle bags and the faring and such for it in the shed. Just not our style.
Here's mine
My Treasured Road King:
Here is a really funny motorcycle video. It does have four letter words, but only in the subtitles. Our German friends can verify that the dialog does not match the subtitles!
Here's mine after I put on new bars and painted the air cleaner cover.
http://www.kretzmovies.com/ I thought a few of you might be interested in this. They are making a feature film and a documentary about Ed "Iron Man" Kretz Sr. He was a motorcycle racer in the 30s-50s, the AMA rated him the best racer of all times. He won the first Laconia and the inaugural Daytona 200, which featured a long stretch of pavement on one side with the beach as the other straight. The organizers made a mistake of starting the race at low tide, so by the end it had come back in, making things very difficult. Ed rode both Indian's and Triumph's. His son led the 1950 Daytona for 99 of 100 laps, only to have his engine run out of oil in sight of the finish line. I am fortunate in knowing Ed Jr., a real nice guy and he is helping to consult on the movie.
Here I am on my 2000 Screamin' Eagle Roadglide.
