    My new Ride (when I get to England)

    That is pretty good looking, I love the wire wheels on it. Not often do you see a sport with wires. What part of the "home country" are you moving to?

Though we do paint in house, to keep cost down, as we found to get more people wanting to match colors of cars or bikes to the product. We also found no matter who we sent it to for powder...

    Dumped a bike for the first time today

    Man, glad you didn't get hurt, I have not done it "yet" yet being the key word. Everyone I know says the same, it isn't a matter of have or have not but when. I did almost drop my scrambler leaving the house on cold spring day, only been riding a few days and didn't know much about bikes or...
