I had to run out to one of my storage units so I snapped a few pics. Nothing really cool, but you have the red X option.  This is a Thunderbird i bought a few weeks ago to resell. Was a good running bike, then it just died.. I love the paint tho. it is a colbalt blue, hard to really see in the pic.  This bike belonged to one of the Charleston firefighters who were killed in the Sofa Super Store fire.. 2004 Indpendant fredom express.  And finaly Bonnie, and the Chopper. Almost sounds like a book title lol.
Dont like what you see??? Big red X in the top right of your screen will fix it!

it was a blast. A lot more power then I remember. My first ever Triumph was a 99 Legend 900.. The Thinderbird is pretty much the same bike with diffrent trim.

Thats just one of them. That block of buildings I rent from #63 to #75.
The one with the door open is kind of a double unit. goes from 65 to 66. behind the door on 66 is where the Thunderbird it as well as 2 of my tool boxes, and a lift.
The rest are filled with bikes that will be for sale soon.

Funny how after having my BA for a while the V-twin looks funny to me. Nice paint on the T-bird.

As much as I hate to say it, that bike rides nice and smooth. Done not try to shake your teeth out like most choppers I have ridden.
I will hopefully get the Thunderbird running tomorrow.

That V twin looks like an early Evo that still had the shovel bottom end.

I tried to rent a storage unit here in Little Rock for my (departed) Spitfire and Speedmaster to reside in during winter, and I was told that fire regs prohibit storing gas and/or vehicles in enclosed rental units. The only thing they would offer me was an open dirt space surrounded by chain link fencing. A few others had there cras, etc stored in this area, and they were filthy and covered in bird poop!! Not for MY toys, thanks!!!

No it is one I made up after seeing one on Ebay. Pretty simple to make. Used the stock one as a pattern then used my mill to make the cut outs..
This was the 5th place I tried to store stuff in, all the others would not let me keep bikes in there..
The v-twin, is a 05 RevTech 113 engine.

So did I miss something? Are you still planning to open your shop or are you going to do the traveling hospital thing... I am afraid the answers got lost in the last thread.... what ever you do, I wish you prosperity..... and oh yeah, the thunderbird does look cool, hope you get it running... ride safe...Gordon

I saw the one on Ebay, However I made my own. Had a few pices of stock laying around and some extra time.
I like the flame jobs on the Chopper also.. It will be a sad day when I sell it tho.
