| block party
went to my first Harding HD block party yesterday afternoon. http://www.hardingharley.com/ He's got a real HD shop there, You can still smell the oil and gasoline! was nostalgic 'cept for all the yuppy scum riders there.. ( just kiddin) Seriously though, saw lots of great bikes, some freakydeaky dudes and dudettes, seemed as everyone was having a good time and even with the presence of plenty of imbibing establishments on both sides of the block and a beer tent it appeared that the majority were behaving quite well. Only saw one guy that reminded me of a younger less coherant version of myself. I apologize profusely for the brain dead moment I had when I forgot to take the camera. Trampus you would have geeked on some of the old shovels there. One dude powdercoated his frame and chromed damn near everything else on the bike.. first time I ever saw a stock HD fatbob tank and fender chromed. There weer even some schweet lookin twinkies there. Saw some of the Bueely kids with leopard fabric tanks and fairings too funny lol. Went over to a candlelit NA meeting in the hang glidinging capitol of NY (Elmira) after and met some great peeps. |

far out! there was a hippie kid in Mpls. use to come into the shop, he chromed his whole damn bike. looked nice but i wouldn't want to have to polish al lthat shiny stuff. bet he spends $1,500.00 a year on paper towels. http://www.roysrepair.com/1997_BS_Pics/1997bike.htm see that groovy shovel with the knobbys on it? this was our gig, shut down a couple blocks in front of the shop, till the city got ****** on us. as you can see, it was a mixed bag. we did HD service, but we also had a couple dyno's and tuned alot of rice for the tracks at bemidji and brainerd and serviced legend mini's. i even got to ride a kz1100 turbo once, 0 to vertical in a split second..... |
