A parts guy at our local dealer asked me if I knew why the anniversry bikes where made for women??? I did not know, he said because they looked like a Duracell battery

I liked the idea of the copper and black, but was disappointed when I saw it in the dealer. I thought the copper was a little pale. I was hoping for a deeper color.

Just for the record, "I don't have to show you no stinkin badges" was originally in Treasure of Sierra Madre with Humphrey Bogart (now whos dating who). That's the scene where the banditos try to convince Bogart that they are Federales, and Bogart asks them to show their badges. Great scene.

Well Marty you have me stumped! I guess never saw that movie, I'm sure it was a good one with Bogart and Mexican Banditos, I bet it has a lot of action! I will ask my wife when she gets home from work she is a movie nut! And she is 6 yrs. older than me, but she is a good woman and has ALL the good STUFF in the right places, andshe looks younger, also she has all the Movie books on every movie made so she can look it up if she has not seen it, but I guess Blazing Saddles used it but it makes me laugh every time! Now if that un-cut movie was on T.V. we probably would have RIOTS, Oh Well seems like instead of all people of all races are getting worse than better, can't we all just get along??!! Take Care. PURPLE HAZE.

105th colors look OK on the tank and the fenders---but on the seat? I don't like bronze seats.
