So in other words, we should have a Shovelhead Heritage model FLH Electra Glide (Olive and Orange with fringed leather saddlebags) on the cover ?  Or maybe the Moo Glide ?  Or a Shovelhead Sturgis ?  Or a Daytona Dyna ?  When did it actually begin ?  H-D has always made low production model motorcycles and special commemorative Anniversary edition motorcycles. Did H-D market the FXR2 as a CVO ? I'm asking not telling or being a wise guy here

Damn Big B, this started out as a simple calender and now it is getting complicated. My votes still stand.

ps.  I think only one bike per member.

G/O

And speaking of the truth,
Hogasm is just bitter cause Maude worn his a$$ out in Daytona.At least that's what Hubbard told me.
I can't imagine Hub telling me an untruth?

Is there a different story Brian?



As far as Maude and my Frontier well,,,,

They haven't even met,,, much less played on the asphalt playground yet.
But Hub has committed to being at MBBW.
Regardless of the outcome, there will be no whining or pm's about who wasn't ready or who cheated.
All that kid stuff is not allowed by members of the "HBRR"
Just two friends with a mutual respect for each other.


Once it's over one of us will have to spend a little bit more money!

 

CHIP GOOD LUCK AND KEEP US POSTED.

NEAL YOUR ON TO SOMETHING GOOD. KEEP IT UP

I believe the 1999 FXR2 was the first CVO bike - Just think next year we can look forward to the 10th anniversary CVO bikes

What about the DWG3, CVO's for sure.

[Jock]

Would this be considered "G" rated? 

If "G" stands for Great....you bet!

THANK YOU BROTHER GARY !

OK
      I'm offering up Elvis for a shot at one of the monthly pics. Is this pic ok ?  I'm not much of a photographer, so I'm asking for advice here. Also, I see the bike every day and have gotten somewhat used to how staggeringly gorgeous it is, but all I have to do to be reminded is take it somewhere, sit back and watch the crowd it draws. So if folks think it could be photographed in a better way, please advise.

Those are cool.   I wish I had one in my garage right now ........ but I digress.

B B...that's a great shot of Elvis, but here are a couple of suggestions...backgrounds should just sort of "be there", and not be distracting to the viewer of the photo (I'm talking something other than snapshots, OK?).  IMO, the wall behind Elvis is distracting, primarily because it is crossing the bike in odd places.  With the beautiful settings you have out there, can you think of a place where you could park the bike where there is no road surface in front of the bike, or ALL road surface, and a nice view in back, like of the Pacific Ocean, with no other distractions?  Backgrounds can be interesting and help draw your eye into the photo, but not dominate the subject, which is the bike.  Late afternoon sun is generally more flattering, and would particularly work well with the Gold paint and Elvis' suit...the afternoon sun is generally golden in color, where moring sun is more "pink".  Dust particles in the atmosphere collect during the day and the light shining through and reflecting off of them makes for nice lighting as a rule.  Harsh overhead light in the middle of the day is usually worst, making too much contrast between light and shadow.  A lightly overcast day makes a good photo day too, as it the light is soft as if coming through a diffuser.

That's the photo lesson for the day.....

I'm with the others here...photo should just be the bike, and I really like Neal's idea in his example.
