Post a Recent Photo of Yourself...It's that time again

Now forgive my ignorance, but the flag is of?

The United States Air Force. I spent eight years in the Force.

Ahh... no buddies in Air Force. Pilot?

Would have liked to have been a pilot. Unfortunately I didn't have natural twenty, twenty vision.

Instead, I was an Integrated Avionics Instrumentation/Flight Controls Systems Specialist, on the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon.

Just another enlisted pee-on.

You paint the bike yourself?

No. It's a Limited Edition 2006 35th Anniversary Super Glide. Came that way. Number 0793 of 3500.

The new baby, eh?

Yup. As of last night when I parked it in the garage, it had just shy of 500 miles on it. Not quite broken in yet.

The white has blue pearl in it, and I can't get a shot that shows it. You can almost see a blue hew in this picture in the white. Pictures don't hardly do it justice. Looking at it out in the sunshine is righteous....

My car's white paint is the same way. Pictures don't do it justice, and with a nice coat of wax the sun makes it look all sorts of different colors. Do you like the stripes on the front fender?

Deffinitely. I love everything about this bike. Being a Harley Tech and working at a dealer, I was aware these bikes were coming six months before anyone else, and I got my name on the first one. We only get two more and that's it, and they were both sold before they arrive also.

A few of us rode up to Virginia City, Nevada yesterday. We always park in front of the Bucket of Blood Saloon. This bike was the most looked at and asked about of all the bikes parked out front. It's an attention getter for sure. Most bikers that keep an eye on new Harley models know what it is, and they always say, "this is the first one I've ever seen". I usually tell them, "and it's probably the LAST one you'll ever see". I was most amused when a younger, obviously teenage kid said, "that sure is eye candy"... LOL!

Thank ya Clay. I'll never sell it, even though I've been told this bike will always be worth what I paid for it, and most likely increase in value.

Well you're bound to bump into me sooner or later Arch. The Bucket is one of my favorite hang outs, especially when the Cowboys are playing. Not to mention the Bucket makes the best Bloody Mary's I've ever had. That ride up there is also one my favorites. I love all the twisties. I haven't scrapped anything yet. My bike has good ground clearance.

Your GD's comment was honest enough, but the Anniversary Low Rider with the flags on it sitting next to my bike was Phantoms.
