A One. I really dig this old road warrior. How about that passenger seat?

I call them Blend Bikes (made up from a unique blend of different year's parts), or Swap Meet Bikes, since their owners have built them up or keep them going by using whatever they find at the swap meet.

A Two. What's this... another cool flathead parked along side?

A bit more of an original survivor. There is nothing cooler than old bikes that are taken out and ridden.

And a Three. This one's blend of parts isn't really working for me but, you don't often see three UL's being ridden together. I assumed they were all buddies since they were just about the only bikes left in the lot. This one could very well be the same bike a friend of mine bought a few years later (at Long Beach), and restored to stock.
I never saw them again. I can't help wonder, where are they today?
