90 Years Young


In June 1924, a shop opened in London, with an undisclosed amount of fanfare. It was a Harley-Davidson dealership, and has somehow managed to survive, becoming the oldest one in Europe. So, on 1st June 2014, it threw a party, with just about as much fanfare as it could manage. Nobody parties like a bunch of bikers, after all.
I, of course, was there, because we all know how much I like a) bikes, b) street parties, c) live music and d) museums. This was a convergence of them all, from the Silent Grey Fellow bikes from 1914, to the WW2 models complete with re-enactors and replica rations and weaponry.
There was also a scooter. (Harley built a scooter! Hehehe! I wonder if the Rockers knew that when they were mixing it up with the Mods?)
