Hi Bill,

It's a "clattering pots & pans" HD Road King.

I love this photo. It's my Father in Law (on the right) and his brother just after they returned from Europe in 1946, leaving for a road trip.

Gene still had this 1945 HD in a shed when I first met my wife in '77. I tried to get him to sell it to me after we were married in'79, but he refused, saying that he didn't want his daughter to be a widow.

He sold it a year later for $750 to a local guy. He was happy because he sold it for more than he paid for it, even though I told him that he could have gotten $5000+ out of it in a blink.

What do you ride?

Ron
