San Leandro Ca, resident whole life
Al got into taxedermy at 9 years old, Harleys at 18
bought the sporty as a stocker in '69, rode it to school his senior year at San Leandro High
After high school he tore it apart and bult the green chopper; Arlen paint, Nunes front end etc etc
Won a trophy at the Oakland roadster show in '72, kissed the trophy for a picture
Continued to ride and change the bike for many years and many miles.
when he sold the bike it was all black and had a front fender.....as you can see Al had "A little Captain in him" before it was cool to stand like a pirate with your leg on an invisible barrel,
thanks to my buddy'
