Harley-Davidson celebrated their 115th birthday in Prague (Czech Republic) and 60,000 bikes were there. A great party (and truly a great city).
Knucklehead
Taken for "7 Days of Shooting" Week#28 "Flash Photography" "Shoot Anything Saturday"
I thought I'd take advantage of this wonderful misty morning with the sun just breaking through to get some shots using the flash. I knew that I have to shoot misty scenes by over-exposing so I knew I would get away with using flash to fill-in in these backlit shots.
this is Knucklehead one of last years wethered (castrated) kids from last year. We have let the sheep and goats into the veg garden to tidy up weeds and finish off the last of the old veg stalks before it gets ploughed over. The goats just love jumping up on things , including the grass cutter implement for the tractor!
Getting ready for the Rainmakers reunion. This Olympus XZ-1 takes better pics of neon, more true to life color, than my Nikon D-90 (of course w/o any manipulation).
LEGO Harley Davidson ”Knucklehead” motorbike, a Technic and System combination model.
About this creation:
As you may know I have a soft spot for vintage motorbikes, so to add a new model to my collection of bikes, I decided to see how a LEGO Harley Davidson “Knuckle head would turn out.
Drawings for this model simply consist of a sideview picture, scaled so that each 5mm equals one stud. Calculations starts with the available wheels, which actually dictates the final size of the bike, but I haven`t calculated the exact scale of the bike, but it`s somewhere between 1:7 and 1:8. Both front and rear wheels are the same configuration as with my LEGO V-Rod; The wheels consist of a 61.6mm Rim (# 2903), with 81,6mm Tyre (# 2902), outside this is another Tyre 94,2mm (# 88516).
Next step was designing the engine and frame. My biggest concern about the engine was the exhaust pipes. Flexible pipes are a nightmare to handle in LDD, so I omitted the pipes in the LDD design phase, but left a suitable space for the pipes to be fitted later in the building process. LDD is a grateful media, where everything stays neatly in place, no matter how many times you turn things upside down and back again. It was quite different when I tried to attach the exhaust pipes to the engine. The cylinders consist of various wheels/round plates stacked on a 4L bar which allowed them to turn. This was a huge problem when I tried to add the exhaust-pipes. It was fixed by tying the two cylinders together by the use of some plates with clip thus at the same time forming the carburetor. In order to keep the shape of the corrugated pipe forming the front exhaust pipe, a peace of copper-wire is inserted into the pipe. The frame came quite easy together because there`s no suspension on the rear axle.
The front fork has no working suspension either, but a “look alike” springer system formed by rods and corrugated pipes for springs.
Front and rear fenders are a further development of the fenders used on my previous bikes. Now with sides made of plates attached to the fender-arch with Minifig back plates. Hope you like them, I do!
The bike has quite a lot of shiny bits and pieces. A lot of these parts are spay-painted, mainly to keep costs low, but this time I have also used chromed parts from one of the chrome brick dealers, and they certainly add a lot bling to the bike. One of the best parts I`ve bought are the black-chromed Technic wheels forming the cylinder tops. The wheels are in fact Black but the peripheral edge of the wheel is shiny chromed, looking like shiny cooling ribs. A few other pieces have been painted, red and black.
Comments and criticism are more than welcome!
Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Nope, there's nothing wrong with this pumpkin. 'Knucklehead' gets its name from its naturally warty skin. The fruit is orange, but warts present as green. This pumpkin ranges from 10-20 pounds once ripe and is great for carving spooky jack-'o-lanterns.
1936 to 1949 last century. I think it ended in 49 for the panhead. Maybe 1945? New England Motorcycle Museum grand opening. Oct 13-14 2018.Rockville ct.

I took hundreds of 3D's at Comicon this year, but this one was the winner. So, not wanting to bore you with the freaks and geeks, I present Moe...poking you in the eyes both literally and figuratively.
To view in stereo, sit 2-3 feet from the monitor and gently cross your eyes so that the two images become three. The one in the middle will be in 3d. If you are finding this difficult, you may be trying too hard. Viewing the original size is best.
Some knucklehead decided April Fool's Day would be a good choice for a tornado drill!!! I read the note in my mailbox and thought surely it was a joke. NOPE!
Anyhow........My kids were perfectly behaved if I must say so myself! Can't even see them can you? They're hidden under coats and bookbags in the corner of our room. They got to color for 1/2 hour as a reward. Shhhh....don't tell the boss!!

Memories of days of old fill our hearts and feed our soul
Stories told it must be said, are mostly true about Knucklehead
Thought we were just living life, we were making history
From Anaheim to Charlieville to middle age to over the hill...
