Default It lives.. and so I.😃

Ironically,

The old boy got loose last night as I was celebrating another trip around the sun... that I'm so thankful to have done so following the motorcycle madness of a few years ago. It gets in your blood folks, nothing like that WOT rush.





All it took to bring me back to reality/my senses was the TAILGATING IDIOCY of Tallahassee. 🤣

Great to hear from you, and glad your beautiful bike is still going strong!!!

I went with the black cylinder, aluminum head look on my 1250 build last year, I recall how good yours looked with that combo.
