1973

1973 Electra Glide

the one on the left

Donald's old hardtail.


Stumbled upon a 1973 FLH. Everything about it sounds just right. Even the price! Shook hands with the owner over the phone. Now all I have to do is come up with the dough. Selling the one on the left and Donald's old hardtail to aquire the FLH. The old K5 used to belong to my dad and has been in the family for 32 years. I never, NEVER, ever thought I'd be parting ways with this old pal of mine. I grew up in that truck and have a shit-ton of memories with that thing. I'l be really sad to part ways with the family truck, but I have plenty of memeories both good and bad. As for Donald's old hardtail, we made some memories too.

Weirdos

The * at the end of the serial number... It has a meaning. I used to not know what it was, and worked with a guy who was facinated by it. He started looking for bills with the * and began collecting them. He even had me looking for them and would buy them off me. Once I realized how many were actually out there I began saving them myself. It was a nice little "vacation account" for me. This was back in 2002-2003. I had since forgotten about this oddity. I ran across a bill with a * on it yesterday and it made me think of the guy I worked with. Last I heard of him he had lost his shop and was commited to the looney bin... $*.**..., They'll drive you nuts.
