Default Sad sight
Just wanted to test my new camera. Bike's still apart, that's why I'm sad!

Put that camera away and get busy.

It will be warm soon, That will put a smile on your face.

What happened to the ride? Broke or upgrade?

I don't necessarily hate chrome on others' bikes. But I do feel sorry for the owners being led astray into the Wilderness of Garishness.

Skip, I've been led astray in many areas in the past. Garishness is one that I can deal with.
