    Photo of grandparents from 1942 on their 1941 harley...

    Had the following picture photochopped as a christmas present to my grandparents. Wife and I are in the middle and Bro and sis-in-law on the right. Grandparents from 1942 on left. Grandpa is now 90 and Grandma is now 87.



    Picture started as this.



    Also have this one of them with friends siblings. Far right is grandpa's bro and sis-in-law. Far left is grandpa's sister and bf at the time. Other two couples were friends of theirs.



    Let me know what you think....

    Those are some awesome shots...I love the clothing, so well coordinated.

    Too bad the bike isn't still around too.

    Those are awesome. I love the ties lol. They must've whipped up into the face a lot. Kinda funny how they wore their "biker" clothes. Styles have changed but the attitude hasn't lol...

    That is effen cool. Good idea for the updated pic too.
    Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step over the ocean and crush us at a blow? NEVER! All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, WE MUST LIVE THROUGH ALL TIME, OR DIE BY SUICIDE. -Abraham Lincoln

    A riding legacy in pictures.

    How fortunate to have these pics!

    Nice job on the photochopping, too.

    They make a cute couple!

    I've heard some of the old AMA clubs would actually fine members for showing up to an event with out wearing a tie. It's a little before Hollister, but that's one of the ways the mainstream motorcycle organizations of the time tried to separate themselves from the 'riff-raff' clubs like the old Boozefighters who kinda pioneered the whole outlaw thing.

    That is very cool! I love the belts too. My grandfather said they wore those because the bikes had no rear suspension and the belts helped from keeping the back from hurting so bad.
