Miguel Hernández Sallas holds up my 2008 motorcycle shop calendar that I had just given him. Carlos
owns a 1960 Harley Panhead and he is in the Havana Harley Club. A few weeks after this picture was taken
Carlos was in a bad accident with his Harley Panhead, Carlos had 3 operations

damage done to his hand and his foot.
