40 year old show bikes, unwrapped

[hurleyracing]

In 1977 I was 11 years old, just saw the opening of Star Wars, my brother and friend built a trike out of an old stingray they found in the trash, my father was adding custom tanks and paint jobs for the kids in the neighborhood, I told him i wanted a Star Wars bike, he proceeded to make it for me, and he made the springer front ends from scratch, the problem was that when it was done it was never ridden again, they were in street chopper magazine and a couple of show programs then after a couple of years they were disassembled and put up in the rafters. Cleaning out the garage and will put them back together and display them, they are a real time capsule
