Langlitz Cascade and Frye engineers. My daughter is home from university for a few days and does good with photos. Note that I have a larger tree than JanSolo.

Nice. My favorite jacket. And you are right: that tree goes all the way to the sky.

I rather like the bike aswell as the jacket!

Thanks guys. Dav, the bike was a retirement present that my wife let me buy. I am really enjoying it. Got it about a year ago. I had several Harley's and a couple of BSA's when I was much younger, but hadn't ridden much in years. I am having lots of fun with this one.

That's a great looking jacket and the Sportster is very nice. I know you will be having fun this summer.

Back in 1972, my first bike was a 1969 BSA 650 Lightning.
Now I'm running around on a 'newer' 1981 Yamaha XJ750 Seca.

Nice jacket Mike....and absolutely stunning Sporty. Love the pipes..and the extra little touches! BTW..I ride an '03 Sporty. My first bike was a '67 Triumph..then didn't ride for years...finally purchased a new '85 Kaw which two yrs later I traded for a '87 Lowrider Custom...then a twelve year dry spell. Finally bought my Sportster a few years after early retirement. My kinda bike..and new lease on life.

BTW..is that custom paint on the tank? Looks great..!

 

[53Effie]

Thanks HD. I know what you mean about the new lease on life. The paint was actually an option in 2009 from the factory. I got the bike last fall on a close out deal. If I remember correctly, it was called a 'chisel grind' paint scheme. I don't think they sold too many with this paint as it was a pretty spendy option. Mine is the only one I've seen in my area in the flesh. Pipes are awful loud, but sounds pretty cool.

Thanks also Wilbur. I try really hard to keep it right side up. I've noticed though that I'm not quite as coordinated as I was when I was younger. Just gotta be careful, I guess.
