Bare feet with socks, black slacks and suspenders, red bathrobe and a towel.  Pretty sure that's a combination I've never seen on a Harley before :huepfenlol2: .

Bare feet?  Not quite... Those are actually Beatle Boots (you remember those don't you Twolane?) he has on, and yes, there's a funny story that goes with this news...

When we arrived back home after our exciting evening, as I was putting the bikes away in their stables I noticed a scuff mark across the top of the rear fender and thought, damn!  Wondering where it came from and couldn't for the life of me figure it out... We've always been so careful with this bike and it only gets ridden on the best of days.  As a matter of fact, the only time this bike has ever been ridden in the rain was going to see Paul, twice!  Well, with Paul and my wife both being English I guess it is to be expected!!!

Anyway, during our little meet & greet with Sir Paul I had my video camera rolling as well as taking still shots with my digital 35m.  After we got to the computer and plugged in the camera to view the video we noticed that when Paul was putting his leg over as he got on the bike, his boot scuffed the fender.  I told my wife that it shouldn't take much to buff it out... She quickly said, "you'll do nothing of the sort, just leave it as it is, afterall Paul's Beatle boot made that mark!"

So, I guess it will remain there as another memento.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments.

I just received the tank back today and as soon as I clean the bike up I'll post some more photos of the finished product.

Thanks for your interest and I'm glad our exciting moment has put a smile on your faces.

I've got a request in for Elvis to sign my bike.  But first I've got to locate that gas station he's working at.

Darn right; that's not a scuff to clean up.  Clear it over and keep it forever.  Keep the video to display with the bike and it's an honest to Beatle momento!

Saw him last night here in Collierville...eating a peanut butter and bananna sandwich. He's almost 300 lbs now! :huepfenjump3: ;D :P
