    I almost cried while watching this video. Reminds me so much of my childhood days in our country, the Philippines. My dad has a Harley repair shop business in the early 50's and I grew up riding those sidecars as our main transpo. They're usually painted red like the one in the video, my dad;s favorite color, I presumed. By the age of 16 in the 60's I, together with my other big brothers was already doing harley repair works, engine overhaul and body works. My dad likes them as original as possible and even the smallest screw should be harley certified part. I learned a lot from him how values the every details of being a harley mechanic. I really missed those days.

I have been around bikes my whole life and never knew it I am a flatheader now. I had Triumphs Nortons and BSA's and Harleys when I was finally able to afford one we would get a 900 iron head Sportster and though we were hot stuff.😂
