I've never owned a Harley but have loved them forever.When I was a kid in the 1950's my father was a cop on motorcycle patrol for our city's force.He drove,I think,a 1200,with a side car.Drove it in the Winter also.Had a kick start and tank "suicide shifter.I always remember him sort of jumping in the air and coming down hard on the kick start to fire it up on cold mornings.He was issued a big buffalo fur coat to keep warm while on the bike.The coats were R.C.M.P. issue from out West.He used to drive me to school while I sat in the side car.Boy the other kids sure envied me,lol.
