Pullstart 62,795 #1 Posted October 24, 2019 My father in-law has been making payments to a co-worker of my wife for this tribute bike. His wife passed away from Breast Cancer and he had a local artist paint this bike for him. It’s been a number of years and he has since remarried and doesn’t ride enough to justify keeping the bike. He mentioned to Taylor that he planned on having Rod the painter black it out again so he could sell it. We talked with her dad and we all decided it should stay as a tribute to Mary, and any other person affected by such a horrible disease. Tonight I went and picked up the bike. It’s a 2010 Harley Davidson Street Glide. It rides great and the bike is beautiful. Sorry for the poor lighting, it’s hard to get a good picture in the barn at night. 4 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,795 #3 Posted October 24, 2019 My father in-law really likes my Electra Glide. Maybe we’ll be able to work a trade? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,505 #4 Posted October 24, 2019 I thought maybe you were going for his & hers bikes. Two drivers, two youngsters, more family fun and adventures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,795 #5 Posted October 24, 2019 Nope, she doesn’t want to have such a big bike. Hers is my old ‘06 Honda Shadow Spirit 750. It”s a slick bike... whenever I put it back together! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clueless 2,976 #9 Posted October 24, 2019 Great looking bike Kev . Do the rest of the world a favor, when cruising on it please put on a pair of long pants, shorts and boots just don't look right . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,795 #10 Posted October 24, 2019 Shorts and boots don’t go well on a bike. Lederhosen? Maybe... they’re leather! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeacemakerJack 10,738 #11 Posted October 24, 2019 Sharp bike for sure Kevin! Tribute machines are really sweet if tastefully done and that one definitely is. I’m glad that you guys were there to get it and keep it as originally envisioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,795 #14 Posted October 24, 2019 Just to be clear, this is my father in-law’s new bike... I just wish it were mine! I’ve always loved a flat/satin black bike, but mines’s black cherry... and all that chrome. I’m not a chrome lover. I’ll try to get pictures of the bikes in better light soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,795 #15 Posted October 24, 2019 @Tractorhead. I’m giving my Jil a piggyback ride after all her festivities. Lederhosen and long boots? They’re a win in my book! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea those boots and Lederhosen look great when your cruising from Cologne to Frankfurt. From Middleville to Battle Creek, not so much . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,795 #18 Posted October 24, 2019 Alright fellas... here you go. The black cherry full dresser is mine, the other two are my father in-law’s. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 9,064 #19 Posted October 24, 2019 Whow, what a beautiful Memorial Bike. Sadly to hear, that the PO wasn‘t able to ride it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,795 #20 Posted October 24, 2019 It is beautiful. I know that Mike and Mary rode quite a bit before she passed away, then I believe he had the paint job done in a series of a couple winters soon after. He rode for quite a while and has since decided he doesn’t ride it enough to do it justice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,981 #21 Posted October 24, 2019 Never been a fan of Harleys. Sorry! But I have to say those three look very nice. Wouldn't want the job of cleaning them though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly I’m right there with you, but the comfort while on the bike keeps me riding, my Honda made my hands go numb. They are growing on me, but I never imagined I’d be on a full dresser! 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 9,064 #23 Posted October 24, 2019 That‘s the reason, my Bike wasn‘t drove the last year. It was not a Bike to Cruise, it is a bike to Race, otherwise it brings no Fun. Not the hands go numb, my back Prohibits it anymore. Sometimes such a sting at times, that opens my hand, bad thing, especially in stronger Rides. Also an issue, while i‘m rethinkin to sell it, even if it‘s hard for me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACman 7,618 #24 Posted October 24, 2019 Nice bikes Kevin and love that paint job. If you’re ever riding out by me you could actually go through Hell and stop for ice cream . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
