1968 Harley-Davidson XLCH Sportster

I bought my new 1969 XLCH from Chico's also( His name was a nick name. It was something like Armand Checchio or something close to this. He had a mechanic with the long straight hair combed back for the time in 1965-1969 time frame.His show room was small on Broad street with well worn wooden floors and when i went in there were 3 or 4 XLCH's close together. One Blue and one Sparkling Burgandy (Kathy nad my future machine). We just got married and I offered him cash and he reduced his asking price from $1856 to $1775.He sold me my Harley helmet that i still use today. Kathy and i bought it on my birthday on 12 may 1969.The guy who wrote this article did not mention that i think Chico lived up stairs with his Mother or his Grand Mother and when he left the store, this little old lady sat in the show room and watched the business and sold parts!!! Real nice. Another thing,,,, Chico was a "real" motorcyclist!!! he raced them, dirt etc and he had pictures hanging on the wall of the store to prove his participation in the sport. He looked cool for the time in the dated for the time riding leathers head to toe and looked quite dashing!I wish i asked for one of the pics.He retired to Florida i think and Harley of Trenton took over his enterprise i believe.When I had a few problems(technical and minor) with the new motorcycle,you could walk outside and watch and Chico would actually get involved in any and all repairs if his imput was needed. Chico did some handle bar adjustments on our 1969 XLCH.I have the XLCH color poster off of the wall showing a 1968 XLCH and proclaining.Can you controll 900CC's of pure power? Kathy and i bought ours in the Spring of 1969,12 May "69" andthat also was 3 months before woodstock and 2 months before the lunar landing. A lot of history in our machine and i still have in in very original parts condition. There is only 4-10,000 miles on it and the original tires are still on it that have only recently begun to

YES THEY WILL, MY 1975 XLCH USE TO DO THE SAME THING LOL SURE DO MISS MY HARLEY THAT I SOLD 33 YEARS AGO TO GET MARRIED.. NEVER HAVE LIVED THAT ONE DOWN
