Mike Aguilar Jr.

Mike Aguilar was not only my friend but also my mentor. I learned so much from him-practically everything I needed to know about shovelheads + panheads. We would spend time together about once a week, and those moments meant a lot to me. Mike knew more about Harley-Davidson motorcycles than anyone else, even the company itself!!

Dad - I know you are with me although in heaven. I just wanted to tell you how proud I always was and still am to be your daughter..... I found this and wanted to add it here for memories.... The record album you were on the cover! That is just too cool and will always be there for memories....

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you Papa. You were the best grandpa ever. I wish my husband and daughter could have met you and had you in their lives. I hope you are "with us" and can see this beautiful little sweet girl grow up. Love you and miss you always.

Missing you Dad....
