One of my first memories of growing up in my little piece of paradise-
New Smyrna Beach Florida was meeting a beautiful girl named Kathi
she was in my older brother Steve Tyler’s class. Well that was in 1966
and 50 years later we are still the best of friends . She is being
mentioned here for the accomplishment of hanging on to her 1967
generator Shovelhead motorcycle since 1980. She has never ever
considered selling it and she never will. She has a 25 year old
wonderful son Danny. Danny has down syndrome . He and his mom
are loved by many. She is also notorious for the last 7 years of
commanding first place trophies at the one and only OB’S Shovel Pan
show. I just thought I would share this little love story for all of you
who regret selling your first bike, at least we know one thing for sure
that 67 Shovelqueen Kathi has and always will stand by her bike.
