Story Summary
Frank Short is a knucklehead. He’s a shovelhead, too. And a panhead.
Call him any of those to his face, and you’ll be met with a small smile peeking out from his long white beard. Harley-Davidson motorcycles and their engines, from Knucklehead to Evolution, are more than just a hobby for Frank. They’re a way of life.
“A friend of mine let me ride his motorcycle when I was 16,” Frank said. “He said, ‘If you can start it, you can ride it.’ And that hooked me.”
That bike was a 1947 Knucklehead. Two years later, Frank bought a 1965 Panhead, and the throttle was opened wide to a hobby he hasn’t retired from.
