I recently came across this photo, and thought it worthy of inclusion here. Not often you get to see photos of the owners from 'back in the day'...

So, who is this bad boy on his Harley 45?

Hints; he owned a pair of Mustangs over the years, and the photo was shot in 1978.

Well, Lefty owned more than two 51s during his life. But they would probably be about the same age.

One more hint then; as far as I know, he never flew his Mustangs. They just sat idle.

Homer Roundtree? Just guessing, never met the man.

I believe Eddie Fisher in Kansas had three Mustangs "back in the day" but I'll throw that name in too.
