Doc's Bike #7

1976 Harley Davidson Anniversary Series 

FLH Shovel Head

Time had come to move UP in size. I traded the 1975 Mercedes for this Classic 1976 Anniversary 

series Harley with a side-car (plus I got a bit of cash to boot!)

Keep in mind that I only weigh about 140-145 lbs. I felt like I was herding a boxcar. Oh it was loaded 

with all the goodies and was considered a "REAL" motorcycle...but I hated it.... very soon after buying it.

The sidecar made it seem like I was pushing it around every corner. That didn't last long. OFF came the sidecar. 

I tried my best to like that bike but after having spent as many miles in the saddle of a bike I could 

really ride, this big TANK was a joke. It leaked, the battery never was UP when I wanted to ride. It 

was clunky, hard shifting, didn't want to do anything I wanted it to do and all in all, we just didn't get 

along.
