catch the HD Museum. It's worth the time spent.
The oldest production Harley - "Number 1"
Just a shot of one of a thousand bikes on display. This '46 flathead flat-tracker just caught my eye. Classis lines.
Rows and rows of polished and pristine Milwaukee iron.
A little noisy by Mitchell Field...so...
Out to Lake Michigan and enjoy the evening.
Good to get away. Good to get back.
I love...C-130's

I'm sorry to tell you this, Paden, but I've just checked with snopes.com and have learned that these are not actually Harleys. They are obvious fakes, possibly made by Honda or Kawasaki. Snopes points out that a real Harley would have a large puddle of oil under it. Those have none, so cannot be original.
actually Kent...
One of the display bikes down on the first floor did have a small puddle under it. It was an old pan. The folks in front of me saw it.
There were some jokes about how many employees they had that came in at night and cleaned up. We all had a good chuckle.:snarky:

Okay, so that panhead may have been the original that the collection was salted with to make the rest look authentic.
Harley 'engineering'
Have never owned a 'boat-anchor' myself. Started riding british bikes early in my life and have an affection for their style of 'precipitous' characteristics.
Like an old dog, they mark their spot.
We used to joke about how HD actually evolved...two guys just wanted to screw a gas engine on a bicycle. If anything broke, they made it thicker and heavier...then it needed another cylinder...by 1941 they had 'perfected' the motorized bicycle and it weighed 800 pounds!
C-130s are built here where I live. My wife runs the clinics at the plant. I love them too, the put food on the table.

If you're ever in Milwaukee again!
Didn't make it there this time. But we did make it to another "fine dining experience":
ps - the butter pecan is the bomb.
Click on the red door
A visit to the Safe House is quite a treat. Home to bootleggers and spies. Finding the place is the first trick as it's entrance is on an alley and the door simply says "International Exports, LTD."
Just for Paden
THE Holy Grail.
Couldn't afford one then...still can't.
thnx, man. I needed a good cry..sniff B-)

I sure wish they would have designed a civilian version for passenger flights. I've often thought of doing that. If I can only find a bank to loan me the money.
