That's a long shopping list of parts and paraphernalia... although it would be easier order all that stuff "these days" online though. I remember the old days of standing in line at the parts counters (on Saturday mornings) and working with the counter guy who'd be paging through the racks of books... he'd be trying to understand what the hell I wanted - It seemed they always had to order it too. The parts counter used to burn half a day.

 

Wow for real they look like Christmas Trees going down the road

 

We used to call them "Garbage Wagons"
I think the black dude is the winner, but I'm not to sure about his PVC Cabana, Also, how many hours to adjust the chain or check the rear tire air pressure?

those bikes beg the question "where are they now?"

 

Saw one here in town a year or two back, had a picture somewhere, it was classic full dressed light barge. Ginny shovel no less

 

I would love to meet one and talk bikes with him, I bet they quiet an imagination and some really cool stories. They are not my style of bike, but I like all bikes and they are brothers on the road. I put my heart in every bike I own or work on. I just don't hang that much stuff off of them,

 

Some of them didn't even wire up the extra lights, system couldn't handle it. Guys would have an extra 100 lights, no wires. It was just for the look.

 

I was thinking along the same lines - I already grumble how you need to remove three things on the bike to get to the one thing you want to work on - but these bikes makes a one hour job half a day.
