I love "Old Red"

I love riding behind that bike, the frames on the older bikes were not welded, they were drilled and pinned, which is really fitting. It's rather like senior citizen hip replacement technology. As the bike rolls down the road it tracks straight and rides straight but gives the impression that every part of the bike wants to go in different directions. The right rear saddle back with the no longer available from Harley rear cover latch not working adds to the effect. The lid hangs out to the right and bounces along as the bike cruises the roads.

I get the impression that if it were a person it would be wearing a fedora. That would be a male of course,if it were female it would have bluish gray hair.

Wait a minute...was that bike grayish blue over red originally, or was the Ev's?
