I have a Shovelhead Lowrider and also an EVO Lowrider. Guess which one everybody comments on.
I rode my old shovel for years. Lotsa folks had no idea what it was. The new bikes have taken over.
Beautiful bike 😎
Many years ago I was having a beer out on the front porch of a old East Texas bar, one of them warm humid nights when the bugs swarm the outside lights. Row of bikes out front, mostly Harley’s, muddy pickup trucks parked elsewhere on the gravel lot.
A screen door creaks and slams, and a pretty, inebriated blonde weaves over to her Ol’ Man’s Shovel Wide Glide (Road Glide???), stands on the floorboard, reaches out to grab the high bars, throws a leg over and, hair falling over the gas tank, commenced to try and start it, been a long time but IIRC she got it on like the seventh or eighth kick. I’ve been in love with that image ever since
