Big Brian on a Sportster...... 
Don,
I was like 19, maybe 20 BUT, no arthritis, so I stood a full 6'3 1/2" tall, weighed in at about 265 rock solid from competative Power Lifting. Never thought about it, but yeah I must have been a sight. I knew an HA back then that told me if I ever decided to get mean, I could just about have my way with the world. Went through a couple of years of that attitude in my mid 30's, but never liked myself much that way. The trail behind was awfully messy. Anyway, I'm off topic as usual. Just couldn't help but flash back after seeing these pics of Gail looking for all the world like a female Bronson. That feeling of freedom you get even though it never disappears is never so vivid than that first bike. And you can see it in her face. Fo anyone who needs to know why need, just look at this lady's face and there's the answer.
