The Confederate Harley-Davidsons
In 1977 AMF Harley came out with the 'confederate editions' banking in no doubt on the widespread use of the 'rebel' flag from fans of racing, southern rock and so on. Production numbers were low – reported to be 44 FLH motorcycles, 228 Super Glides, 299 Sportster XLs, 45 Sportster XLCHs, and 15 Sportster XLTs Supposedly HD quickly bought back the bikes that were shipped to dealers and repainted them. There aren't many accounted for these days and its a shame that HD apparently got nervous about the 'PC Police' because I would've loved to have one!
This is an ad for the then upcoming 'confederate series' that supposedly never went to publication.
Knucklehead
Another of Brooke's father's builds. This is one of his friends who bought the bike and is now about to head to California from Florida, map in hand. (circa 72-73)

Ironhead
Yet another Sportster. I love this bike, very tasteful, plus that dude has one of those 'gladiator' helmets. Photo from '72

Band of Horses
Thanks Luke for the heads up on this one. Band of Horses video is an homage to 70's b-biker movies...along with some crazy choreographed dancing.

LP Cover
The songs on this one don't really fit the cover image...i somehow doubt she's listening to Burt Bacharach.

Love This
The 13 year old kid was told he could not fly the American flag on his bicycle by his California school. Talk about a PR nightmare, citizens made sure this BS didn't go unnoticed. I love how a lot of the veteran's bike clubs paraded the kid to school the next day, all flying huge flags from their bikes of course.
Rare Patch
Extremely rare HD ''pegasus patch''. Originally out around late 70's to early 80's I believe. Originals sell now for $300-700...

Take Me Home Country Roads
I bought this old John Denver album today, and this picture of John on a Kawasaki enduro was on the inside. (i might get made fun of for listening to JD, im not sure) Cool picture I thought!
