Yeah, they’re icons, and it’s not like they made a ton of them or were even around for very long.

Is that the 650 Lightning he had (I’m no bike expert).

And it’s just a little sad to see him holding a gun, knowing how it ended.  One of my favorite authors, may he RIP.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

No, that’s a Harley. He was a pretty big gun nut, as you know. Here’s a very interesting interview with him featuring a different HD.

Yes, he was definitely a big gun nut, and that was a part of who he was . And there was always something about him that made me figure that it would end the way it did - I think he even talked about it at some point.

I should have realized it was a Harley - the V-twin is pretty obvious.

I think he was really afraid of those guys - he looks awfully uncomfortable in that clip, and struggles to make eye contact with Workman.

Yeah, they almost killed him. Plus he was with them for two years, so I’m sure he’d seen what they were capable of.

That wasn’t a group you wanted to cross back then, for sure.
