Fireman Jhon

"Trip from Colorado to Oakland in late 1971, this is down in Arizona cold as hell the whole trip. Stitches with his Knuckle and Fireman Jhon with his Pan. Photo taken by Patti, Ridin' back on Jhon's Panhead all the way and back"

another cool scan by RD! (from the same series as the bike with snowchains on the rear wheel)
thanks mate!

    That photo is right in so many ways! Maybe what Easy Rider should have been?

    If so, he did the original paint work on my bike. I kept my tank and rear fender in their original form. The dude I bought it from a couple of years ago touted the guy's work. He apparently died last year.
