wednesday at the lincoln event at the convention center was this most incredible looking harley.  kim shirley created it.  i heard that it’s been on display at the presidential museum.

i had to take lots of photos,  even though i’m not a motorcycle person.

i think lincoln would have been amused and also delighted.  there are so many details, which is why i felt the need to take many, many pictures.

ok, that’s a photo of the presidential museum, but to the right is a single-shot derringer, i believe – a replica of the one john wilkes booth used to shoot lincoln.

the foot peg is a stirrup.  the brake pedal is a civil war-era belt buckle.  kevin wears one just like it on his belt when he’s playing a soldier.
