Coolest damn thing you'll see all week. 1913 Harley, heavily optioned,TANDEM !, unrestored, with a quick history and instructions how to start it. WOW


the bike's options are discussed for the first 5 minutes, then the bike is started up and the procedure is wonderfully demonstrated, step by step. (starts at minute 5:30)
Thanks Mike! This is great!

Annual Paddy Ride at Dublin Mob on Federal in San Diego










































The guy above was directing traffic with the outstretched hand

























Bullets and brass knuckles were here and there






Did you read that wrong the first time, try it again... I had to








Terrific skirt and socks, and she was the only woman I saw dressed up for St Patricks Day... damn shame, more would be better, but one was very cool
Love the shirts





Just driving by


I like the profile of this Belvedere, it seems smaller than I thought they were... has it been chopped, sectioned, dropped, and all the other custom usuals to make it look this compact? I like it, don't get me wrong, but I see it and think it looks better than originally sized.





Who invited these guys?
