1949 Panhead

So I got my dad into biking a few years ago, and since then I am proud to say that his taste has developed perfectly :)

He just imported this beautiful 1949 FL Hydra-glyde from Connecticut.





It was restored about 10 years ago, hence all the shiney bits are nice, and the colour is a bit gaudy. It also has some modern modifications - 12V electrics, auto-advance, S&S carb, etc.

I managed to kick it into life for a bit but when it cut out I couldn't manage it again - its not easy to kick over! I am so chuffed though - our first Harley Davidson, can't wait to have a ride!!!
