Are you a Genealogist try to see who the oldest & not dead?

 

I've had my 1986 FXSTC since it was new. The only bike beside my 08 FXCWC that had me considering a new one was the 2005 RKC.
I didn't want it that bad though.
First picture I saw of the FXCWC in blue, I called the dealer and placed a deposit on the first blue one they got in.

It's not that I couldn't afford other bikes. None had my interest enough to go get one.
It's not always about money.

 

My keeper and someday my son's bike is my '53 FL- only had it since '99 though.

Traded my '42 WLA and $2K for it (all the money I had at the time)

I still park it in my living room.

 

Spoken like a true RUB.

 

Oh I'm not defending , most know I could care what they think . Different strokes kind thing for me . My sig bike ....well I can't explain it honestly just something about her that talks to my soul so to speak , anything else is just another bike .

I'm not in a small club there , some of us are just wired that way . I like older iron that's all , money isn't an issue if I want one I just don't .

 

[QUOTE=dickey;9465223]Bought my first new Harley from B&D Rahway in '88. Salesman was Wayne. What was the name of the indy that was on the same side of 1-9 a block or so up from B&D? Do you remember Mouse?

That was Leo. If I remember correctly he was Bill's nephew. He used to work out of his mom's garage before he got the shop on the highway. It's been gone for a few years now that they redid the highway. He just closed up shop. I asked him where he was moving to and he said he's not. Years earlier I met George mouse. His thing was older english bikes. Up until a few years ago he had a building in Elizabeth on 1&9, Don't know if he's still around tho. He has to be getting long in the tooth if he still around.,,

 

i remember Wayne and remember Mouse's shop over on 1+9 in Elizabeth. Leo owned Deals and Wheels 1/2 block from B+D Gary was the counter guy I think. Remember Big Macs Bar on 1+9 also? Interesting times.
I'll PM.

 

WTF! Not about money I ride old iron because I like to ride old iron.

Hell have you ever looked at the prices on some of the real vintage motorcycles? Take a look and see what an authentic 36 Knuckle fetches, or maybe an old Henderson or a Vincent.

Go to an AMCA meet and look at what some of the oldtimers are riding. Most are not trailer queens and the owners do not spend time hanging around a dealership.

Better yet go find yourself a pre-20 bike and join the Cannonball Run. They go coast-to-coast on them.

You are absophuckinlutely clueless!
