It's funny how you can look at something and not really see it. I actually had to look at the picture twice to figure out what you were talking about. Maybe cHarley gets an awardfor being the first one to spot it.

Nice sig pic Alex.

Nope, you guys are a day late.

He 'flipped' the picture on purpose to see how long it would take to be noticed. LoL

I was reading the Horse magazine the other day, read an article about a nice custom build chopper, a shovel head. My co-worker can't figure out what engine that was, why is kick start on the left. We have been reading and reading for about 10 mins and figured out the picture is flipped horizontally. Yes, a long 10 minutes......That's why I want to make my sig picture backward to see how many of you can actually point out. [sm=groupwave.gif] Canadian are 100% straight.

I still think it would look better if you installed a 35 inch front tire.
