| Harley-mad in Baghdad, the atypical story of 'Mr Muscle' |
| 2005-05-27 |
| Via No Pasaran: When he belches around Baghdad's old quarter on his spotless Harley Davidson, Kadhem Sharif, a powerlifting champion sporting wrap-around sunglasses, makes for an unlikely sight. And the 53-year-old is fully aware that his passion for one of the most recognizable symbols of the American way of life is not to everybody's liking in post-war Iraq. But his garage is a carbon copy of any Harley aficionado's den in the United States, complete with posters of naked "babes on bikes". And his collection of 40-plus motorbikes provides a condensed history of 100 years of national turmoil. SNIP-- |
