Snow? What snow?
Beautiful day here yesterday, took the Slim S to the beach and the bush. They go well on dirt roads, very stable.

Fitted a Mustang Day Tripper Wide Vintage. Works okay for about 250 miles, then it's time for a serious rest.
The rear rack came from ebay, would love to know what model back it was intended for.

Was chrome, now HD textured finish until I can find a poweder coater where I live who does gloss black, that looks as good as Harley factory black.

Good things come to those that wait! Can't ride it now anyways, but I could be sitting on it making motor noises.

So i am just about ready to put a down payment on one, but am still struggling with which colour to order. I saw the army one last night in person, and it looked great. Then when I sit on it, not so great. Pics of me on the Black one look a lot tougher. This does matter you know.

Every time I ask my friends or family about which colour they like best, everyone one of them pics the black one. Everyone worries about the army one being too trendy, but think the black will stay classy. I found this pic on the web to confuse me even further.

Are you jealous? Are my posts bothering you? Can I show it when I get it? Are you the moderator of all things on this site? Do you need a real life?

Hey Jack, this tank... Was it a custom job. Or a swap off? Works nicely with your bike.
