In Memory of Al Kapone

1944-1995

When I was young and in my prime, I'd chop my Harley all the time.

But now I'm older and got more smarts, I restore my Harley with original parts.

Garlic Al was a good friend of mine
 and I miss the old fart to this day.
A trip to the clubhouse or just sittin in his
living room full of Harley memorabilia
sippin Ouzo, licorice booze in a bottle.
shoot'in the breeze about old bikes it just ain't
 the same without him.

Garlic and flatheads forever AL
may you ride in peace and freedom.

Black was a friend of mine for to short of a time. In that short time he did things that make a brother out of a friend.

Stub // Otto Manthie a true biker and a hell of a man, you couldn't have a better friend, he died at 72 and had more biker in him yet than most will ever have.
