Awesome! It makes me wish MY grandparents had a picture to do a similar project. I'd have to additionally photoshop their old photos ONTO a Harley though.

Dude that is way cool!

Does your grandfather have any hair under that hat or is the whole family a little slick on top? LOL

Yup, I Googled it, and you're exactly right. Looks mighty unconfortable for the front rider, especially on long trips. It's pretty easy to see how someone thought of moving his gal back over the rear fender for more room and comfort.

Most excellent! Then and now...

Hope you don't mind, but I'm saving it into my misc. motorcycle photo folder. Great picture.

Thanks guys/gals for all the kind words. As I mentioned earlier, here is the original that was used and another with 4 other couples. The far right was my Grandpa's brother and sister-in-law and the far left was my Grandpa's sister and some guy she was dating at the time. The other two couples were just friends of theirs.

Again, thanks for the props.




And the one we had photoshopped.
