I have been an avid collector for over 50 years. Now that I am pushing 70, I am being encouraged to sell off my collections so my son won't be overwhelmed with all my stuff. I also rarely got rid of personal items from my past that remind me of my "good old days".
I bought my first motorcycle in 1969 when I was a Senior in High School. This is the denim jacket I made when I got my first Harley Davidson in 1972. Back then there was not the huge selection of dealer sold clothing fashions for motorcycles that there is today. You bought a denim jacket, some Harley Davidson patches, and found someone to sew them on for you. This is a "Maverick" brand denim jacket, Made In USA, with a Harley Davidson patch on the chest, a Harley Davidson Wings Patch on the back, and hand set metal diamond studs up the jacket front, down the back, and around the waist band. I put all the studs on the jacket myself. An additional feature is the fancy cufflink I put on the left cuff when the stud button came off. The jacket is in very good condition for being 50 years old, and is naturally distressed. The wings patch on the back has come loose a little on the bottom on one side and will need to be re-sewed. The jacket is size 38. I was a lot smaller in 1972 than I am today and the jacket no longer fits me. It has been in a closet for the last 40 plus years.
The second picture is me wearing this jacket in 1972 while riding the 1962 Sportster chopper that I built. The Sportster had a rigid frame with a 3/4" rake in the neck and an 11" over-stock springer front end. The motor was bored and stroked to 1100cc. The bike had a 4 speed transmission. It would do 51 mph in first gear, 83 mph in second gear, do a wheelie going into 3rd gear, and when riding on the road you couldn't put it into 4th gear unless you were going at least 80 mph. ..... and it only had a rear drum brake! That year my friends told me that I was going to kill myself on that bike. I personally told people that I didn't expect to make it to 25. Although I crashed the chopper and four other motorcycles in the last 50 years, I am still here. The last picture is my current and last Harley Davidson. It is a 2005 Fatboy CVO 103 cubic inch that is ported and polished, with high compression pistons, over sized fuel injectors, and it dynos at 100.47 horsepower.
