Went to check out a bike my friend was buying today and met Cam, ex Chief New York Firefighter of ten years. His Firefighter Harley was pretty cool, plus it had 50,000+ miles on it and it’s only a 2003. “Oh yeah, it’s ridden- not just pretty to look at!” Chyeah, I high-fived him.
He pointed out the details on the tank panel (Is that what it’s called? I actually don’t know the anatomy of a Harley) which included pieces from 9/11 Ground Zero- a bolt and a metal piece of one building that was engraved. Cam was there in NYC doing clean up thirty days after.
The bike was bought new from Harley, it’s a 2003 Firefighter special edition. All the gold metal flakey bits were done locally, and the pinstriping was done by Portland-famous Mitch Kim.

Ever look back at photos from trips and realize that you don’t have any with your motorcycle? Photos with people included are way more memorable, even though we love looking at our sexy machines. Amanda Zito and I made a little how-to video with tips and tricks for snapping photos of you on your bike!
