Nice Knucklehead

    Harley Davidson Motorcycle Company has been around since 1907.

 

    History has been made with Harleys. They accompanied our soldiers on war… our Police use them to maintain order… and Bikers use them to have fun and get around.

 

    They can be clanky smoke belching monsters that rattle the teeth out of their rider’s heads…. and they can lead to a big smile while riding… a smile that will surely leave bugs in the rider’s teeth, if he still had any.

 

   A Harley is the closest thing to a horse you can find…. but it goes faster.

 

   There’s nothing like the wind running past you as you scream up a mountain pass…. coming over the saddle you can see the great expanse of landscape God gave us…. the horizon opening as the doors of the hills fly by your tearing eyes…. even the Central Valley is a beautiful sight to see from the seat of a Harley.

 

   Our town is made up of the children of the Dust Bowl and the original ranchers that raised cattle for the Spanish Crown.  Our local teams sport names reminiscent of the Olde West… names such as ‘Cowboys’.  Half of the buildings in the ‘Olde Towne Nipomo’ are ‘false-front’ buildings… favored in the old west days to make the town seem bigger, more settled and prosperous from the main street.

 

   We like our horses in this town… we’re cowboys and ranchers in this town… our local bar has ‘Saloon’ in the name…. and we ride Harleys because they won’t let us take horses onto the Highway anymore.

 

   Nipomo is a good town for sure.  But I fit in just fine with Cowboys, Rednecks and Bikers….

 

   I was going past the Saloon the other day, and saw that ‘Dusty’ had his newly restored 1931 Harley Davidson ‘Knucklehead’ in his truck. I just had to take a photo.

 

  Some fellow told Dusty he ought to charge me ten dollars.  Then some chick came out and said she’d take her clothes off and pose nude on it for twenty dollars more…. but this is a family website…. and Vickie’d not let me alone in town if I came back with pictures like that.

     Going through old motorcycle photos, I found another nice one that I saw recently….

 

   The fellow who put this motorcycle together is an actor…. he makes an occasional appearance on ‘Sons of Anarchy’. I met him on the set of ‘Sympathy for Delicious’.   He’s got a really nice ride….

 

 

 

 

 

 

   A nice ride.
