Then, a few years (Really!) later, the wife asked me why I don't wear my Harley tie that much...

HUH????

"I don't have any Harley tie."

"Yes you do!"

"No, I don't! When did I get a Harley tie?"

"For Fathers' Day! Scott gave it to you!" (she's starting to sound a little miffed at this point...)

"That tie? I thought it was Easter Eggs (The pattern is BRIGHTLY COLORED HARLEY TANKS!), that's why I only wore it around Easter."

She drags the tie out and shows me the word "Harley" printed ALL OVER THE TIE!

I NOW pay attention to THE SMALL DETAILS.

Turns out, this is the ONLY tie I own that gets any comments and those comments are all positive. I've even had people (Harley folks) that have offered to buy the tie from me for up to $75.00...it must have been some "limited edition" or something along those lines...

Won't sell it...I'm planning on being buried with it on...

Did I mention that I look at the details a bit closer, now?

Hey, I have one of those ties. No kidding! Black background right? Yellow, blue, orange tanks? Think I bought it at a mall kiosk about 10-12 years ago, when I got the first HD (91XLH) I only wear it once a year, to our HOG Chapter Christmas party.

Man, if they look like Easter eggs to you brother, run, don't walk, to the nearest optometrist.

In the meantime, enjoy those young'uns.
