Two 2004 Harley Davidson Softails.
Terri's is the Heritage Softail Classic - all dressed up and ready to ride. Bob's is the Softail Standard, customized with
the "mustache" engine guard and an Air Force decal. And that's enough.
Paul, one of Bob's Co-workers, had a plan to build a piece of lawn art from an old tracked vehicle drive gear....
Scrap Iron Reclaimed as Art
The center sun is a drive gear that transmits power from the engine to the tank-tread tracks of a heavy army vehicle. Paul had a local blacksmith create the rays by tapering and shaping some cold-rolled steel bars. The total span across the star is 5 feet.
The drive gear was from a vehicle like this one, an "M113".
Very, very, very cool. Can't wait to try it on! Terri worked with the shop owner to find the colors, styles, and features that would fit my description of the jacket I wanted to wear while driving Terri's Harley down the road. ;o) Oh, I am such a lucky man...
The result is quite impressive! Thanks go out to Reneé, too, for taking my measurements!
Terri ordered and paid for a friend's business cards... Terri's friend, returned the favor by providing Bob a bag of premium Hawaiian coffee: Peaberry!
Mmmmm...
...that's good coffee!
For the first time since the kids were born (oh, so many years ago...), Bob and Terri managed to take a vacation without the little bundles of joy!
