EIGHTEEN MOTORCYCLE SHOP PHOTOS -
CIRCA 1958

18 3.5"x5" color photos of a motorcycle shop
interior graced by a good looking young lady posing in various exotic-dance-type costumes.
Included are racks of leather clothing, a Harley poster, a Busted in Daytona poster, a
Frye poster, clothing with Harley insignia hanging on racks, etc. The one view out the
window shows what appears to be a late 1950's car (shown
right). The young lady tries on a leather vest
from the shop. It is an amateur's effort. In 9 of the shots the photographer had a hard
time keeping his mind on the lighting, so those photos came out a little dark. (Flash
photography was not used in any of them, so there are no ugly shadows.) But when he got
the lighting right, he really did her justice! No nudity or salacious behavior in any of
the photos. $21.00 postpaid anywhere.
