Cheesy Picture Day
Spent about two hours at an IOOF(Odd Fellows) Car and Bike Show today. Here are some eye candy shots.
With all the talk lately of the militarization the police in the US, I was still surprised to see this in use in my county. Yay or nay is about 50-50. I spoke a bit with one of the guys who run the thing. He wasn't too keen on my rattling off the specs and less so when I mentioned that it could be disabled with a 4mm allen wrench. This showed up late in the day. Military Themed HD. I wasn't thrilled with the open belt or the barbed wire shift linkage. Also, that's as far as the fork turns. Must have a 40 acre turn radius. However, I did like the 'Pin-up' artwork on the rear fender. The owners wife posed for it and it was airbrushed by a local guy. Road King that belongs to a friend of mine. I kinda like it. As this was a local show, I've seen a lot of the vehicles many times before, but these were new to me. 1948 Crosley Wagon. 1939 Oldsmobile Beemer 1200S Like I said, I've seen many of these vehicles before so I went a different route. Enjoy.

Thank you for posting the beautiful photos. I like so many of them, but the artwork on the Harley fender is my favorite.
