Last bike was 1941, flathead, sidevalve ULH Harley. We had nicknames for it. Stump puller, pig iron, etc.

Most don't remember Ed Roth. Rat Fink, Big Daddy Roth, "Cartoons" and the rest. He helped rebuild the engine on the '41. 90 mph, and it was barely turnin over...Cool bike. Then I got married and retired from being an outlaw in the eyes of most everyone. Long ago. Life is very different now. Better. But I do find some humor watching all the dentist ride around on their brand new Harleys. Wish I could afford one. But flying is cool too.

Not knowing when you are in neutral is about the same as not knowing when to shut up instead of standing up.

Machines were not originally meant for the meek.

I've got Roth original with an autograph.
