I always thought the purple ones were from A-7's???
The brass ones are canopy shear pins from a TA-4J.
And sad to say, I never owned a Harley, just had the vision pumping thru my veins. Although I have had a couple of bikes the last was when I took care of my buddy's BMW R100 S for almost 2 yrs. Soon though soon, I'll have a hog between my legs.
"Now I just saw you were in Beeville, Tx!! ME TOO... There for Kidengarden and 1st gade...Hahahaaaa...we lived on Tripolli Dr in base housing...1959 and 60"
"That hold back you have looks just like the one I have a kept when I was launched off Ike during one of our work up cuises...WHAT A RUSH!! So thats how I remember what it looks like."
"Was lookin at your pic's...got some nice one's there, even recognize the hold back from the S-3, what are the 2 things on the sides of it? Also noticed on your work jacket a Harley patch...do you ride one or was that from the NAVY days?"
"THANKS!! Got it a couple years ago. Been to Sturgis,SD with it in 07. Than last year rode it up to west side of Mi., across canada to NY than back to Fl. 3500 miles and was readdy for another 3500...had a GREAT time!! That pic there was in Mi.…"
