It's a Frame Up!

 Some owners think it can never say Harley-Davidson quite enough times on their bike. I tend to not fall into that camp. One part or area that tends to go this way is the license plate frame, especially since the dealer's frame will usually have some sort of H-D logo on it.

This cool frame (from a cool dealer), was on my first bike when I bought it. I'm sure there's a lot of riders unaware that there was ever a Long Beach H-D.

Not too long before they closed, they were handing out freebies which included this not so cool plastic frame.

A somewhat typical modern era dealers frame with some razzle dazzle.

Another long forgotten dealer. Before Harbor City Harley (now California Harley), Lomita Harley was the south bay's dealer. 

Plain frames are much more my style. I had to make it since the old black plates are larger.

I usually don't go for this sort of thing, but it's kind of cool in solid brass with patina. This was an official licensed product (yes, made in Taiwan). It may be fairly rare since it appears the design was altered in the name of safety, as shown below. 

No more wing tips to catch on stuff... like your leg. Does H-D even still offer this one?

Last Week's LBSM

Unless I'm out of town, I go to every Long Beach MotorCycle Swap Meet. For awhile I was always taking a camera, but haven't done that for about 2 years.

That said, here's the only things I noticed that were pixel worthy.... or at least the first four were.

 This nice Knuck belongs to Flathead Fern' son. Sorry I forgot his name. In person, it looks more root beer in color.

Ratty chops seem to be more popular than ever.

 Found at the Cycle Zombies space. Is that Big Scott's latest?

 Another nice Knuck, but to me, the pipes look unfinished.

 I didn't know the circus was in town. 

It reminds me of a cartoon I once saw on a blog.
