I'm glad you took more photos of the Henderson one, that one looks very interesting. I like it. Sara likes the "pink lady one with the sidecar", bless her!

I'll have to show some of these photos to my dad.

I made this post open, so anyone can see it, including your dad. :> The Henderson is pretty interesting. They tried to revive the brand about twenty years ago and it was a business disaster. My old place of employ actually had one of the reissues. Big ol' HD wannabe. The voltage meter is something I haven't seen before! He only got that piece for it recently and it cost him pretty dearly.

I knew Sara would like the Vespa with sidecar; that's why I snapped a shot of it. :)

The old HD was pretty amazing. I have a shot of the other side if you'd like to see it. We share an aesthetic on the post-apocalyptic thing for certain!

Cool I'll have to send the link his way. I'd love to see the other side of it. I do really like that post apocalyptic bike - visually it is very inspiring. Hope you're well KCKIWI!
