RE: Suicide, finally!
Still haven't gotten to town to look at a camera. Didn't get as much money from my quarterly safety check as I thought. Guess I'll have to get a "modest" camera, instead of a "rubby" special! 
Did get the left side mirror remounted. Shortened the stems on both sides so they don't stick out so much. Can't stand long stem mirrors; look like a coupla turkey necks stuck off the bars! Shortened 'em so they just clear my body in the rear view.
Still having fun learning the clutch. I may have to get serious with it next winter and get the lever pivot point moved forward about 4 inches. That'd give my long legs a better angle on it. 'Course that'd screw up all that shiny chrome, and I'd have to bead blast it, then shoot it with some wrinkle black.

Skip,
Not sure what impresses me more, the work you do on your bikes[sm=interesting.gif], the places you've been[sm=ts.gif], the service to your country[sm=americanasmiley.gif], the way you seem to be able to ride[sm=smiley32.gif], your attitude[sm=hail.gif], or the fact that you are getting a DIGITAL CAMERA.

You'll have to excuse the dirt, we're already in a drought, and I only wash the bike once a month. Ain't no reason it oughtta get a bath more 'n' me, anyway!
