--cryin wolf?? a real barn find!

not april fools

my friend ralph in the third photo
below had told me about this knuckle
since i met him a couple years back.
every once in a while he'd say:

"i need to go check on this knuckle,
that i know about from way back when"

....I'd say "go check on that fuckin knuckle"
Ralph was around for the glory day's of choppers
he had pans and gen shovels... but never a knuck.
He parked his shovelhead years ago and focused
more on chopped fords and custom cars. he's got
lots of good stories about goodtimes and lot's of
stories about bad times and friends that got in
to the lifestyle to deep and ended going "swimming
in the bay"...for the rest of their lives.

recently he got newer h.d. and got his bearings back.
it sparked him up. the other day once again he said:

"i need to go check on this knuckle,
that i know about from way back when"

and once again i said:
"go check on that fuckin knuckle"

well look what he found.....

ralph rules... and i'm so stoked
for him. he basically dipped the thing in
Marvel mystery oil.... and it turns over.
of course he's leaving it just how it is.
the dudes son needed to keep the tank
for a couple reasons... so ralph already
tracked a clean one down.







he found this one first-



the son had pushed the bike out of the barn
a few years ago to try and ride it...
it ended up in the yard.


you son of a bitch
