So my ol FLHPI, Fringe, did her first 3000 miles on the Tampa Police force. I purchased her in 2004 when she was retired to the floor of then Gulfcoast Harley-Davidson, where my GBNF brother, Cake, had taken up residence selling bikes after his service in the Marines.
She sat side-by-side with a twin, but something drew me to her. We’ve weathered many a storm together, and she has been running the same OEM Halogen 7-inch Headlamp all these years later.
