a boy named........harley.

So here is the story.. This is the bike I got my named from... My father bought a Harley Davidson servi-car trike in 1968 and took about a year or so to build a chopper. Now fast forward to the beginning of 1973, the year I was born. My parents lived in a small apartment and wanted to buy a house before I was born. They had very little money for a down payment and the only thing of real value was my Dad's chopper. So he decided to sell it. Being my family is Italian and most carry the first name Anthony including my Dad, they knew they were not going to name me that. So one day joking around my Mom said to my Dad "Why don't we name him Harley that way you'll always have one". Needless to say that was what they named me...

The first photo is my Dad in 1970 about to take my 2 cousins for a ride...

The trike was a 45 Flathead with a 6 over front end, painted in a heavy purple metal flake. The rear seat was custom made of a glassed over desk chair, chrome reverse wheels and custom clear plexiglass rear fenders.

Enjoy!
Harley
