Today's Ride...The Dragon ....Checking On Miss Reba

[Smokinjoe-VRCCDS#0005]

Real Harleys have been built in Japan as far back as the 30's and 40's.

They called the bikes they built over there a Rikuo, or Road King.

Harley sold them all the stuff, molds, machines , blue prints and Japan paid them a royalty or money for

each design.

Because of the depression and all they stayed afloat like this.

This also helped the Japanese learn a lttle thing called mass production.

And yes this made everything they made to fight us in WWII a little better because Harley sold them this stuff.

So when you hear a Harley dude get all proud of his American made ride, tell that person you know where

they were built a long time ago and maybe but I hope not, this probably helped to kill some of his kin folk as well.

That's heavy Al    I just returned the call....Have your machine call my machine

I like Miss Reba she takes good care of us making sure we have plenty of firewood for the night party both nights during " The Fall Color Ride "  . We get alittle loud sometimes and she has never said a word other than " Y'all have a good time "  .

  Thanks,

If I could find a Honda 2 wheeler with a mowing deck I would probably mow more often.  This looks like all the necessary pieces.
