Harley. Live to Ride, Ride to live

[Marko50]

I've been working on this for a few weeks now. Had about a half dozen fails with bonding issues. Almost threw in the towel and then I had one more idea. It worked! This is cast in Alumilite. The background material is copper and aluminum. The Harley medallion is plated copper, which is where the bonding issues took place. C&C welcomed.

THAT is a beauty.

I know 10 people that would give their eye teeth to own that.

Great looking pen.......Congrats

Amazing... That is really cool.. I ride a SG, so I'm all about the HD...

Very cool pen. You did a great job on the blank. Wonderful fit and finish.

That is a beautiful pen and I think it would look great with this wrapped around it heading down the highway in the pocket of the guy on top. I also noticed that you just live down the road from me so just let me know when to swing by and pick it up.

 

[Harley2001]

That is outstanding job.

Marko, great job! The blank is awesome and the fit and finish is spot on.

Keep up the great work.

beautiful pen. Be careful selling it. HD is a fierce protector of their copyright.

 

[Edward Cypher]

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

Great job! I've been thinking about doing Harley pen but that's way beyond my talent. Oh, I ride a SG too.

You will really need to Chain it down.
To stop it Driving down the road with an Unknown Owner.

[Marko50]

Thanks for the input folks! I truly appreciate it!

 

[plano_harry]

Wow, that is fantastic Mark! Did you create the medalion, or get it off something?

I am getting on my FLH next week and heading to Daytona for Bike Week. Would be happy to take it along and show it around. As one mentioned THE motor company gets all sideways if you use their marks and logos and don't pay for the license. Good looking none the less.

Bill, I wish I could say it was my 26! I'm not quite independently wealthy just yet to be able to afford the annual on it!:biggrin:

That is really nice. Great choice of background for the Harley emblem. Pity you didn't enter it in the bash, I think it would have done very well.

 

[tgsean]

Great IDE and fantastic pen. You should make one for Triumph lovers too!

I was working feverishly trying to get it right, but alas, the cutoff came and went. I did enter another pen though.

And for those reminding me about the trademark issues… If you look closely on the third picture, left to right, the Harley "®" registered trademark is visible just to the right of the word "Cycles". I know they guard their name vigorously and rightly so. The medallion is meant to be attached to things, i.e., hiking sticks, baseball bats, billy clubs, thug sticks….and maybe even a pen!
