Right when you think the world is full of knuckleheads (not the Harley variety), someone demonstrates complete trust and let’s you borrow a pricey tool without thinking twice.

Thanks Zdenko, it’ll be in the mail first thing tomorrow and I’ll PM you the USPS tracking number.

Not as busy as some this winter but not completely idle ……

- Ditched the Summer Screen for this season. Hope to remember what it’s like without the head buffeting.
- Note the chrome lower forks (thus the borrowed tool). Fluid changed of course.
- My much coveted Green/Cream tin. One small flaw, but I can live with a $1240 set for $355
- EBC Floating rotor and new Sintered pads (goes without saying when replacing the rotor). Great deal on both from MAW through a third-party called Underbid. $204.31 shipped.
- I’m thinking a brown seat in the future. Going to keep my eyes open for something used, but may end up with a new Corbin (wife will have to cool off first)









Thanks again Zdenko. You made life a little easier and demonstrated there are still good people out there. I hope to reciprocate in the future.

Regards.

Tom

Bike looks great, Tom!! Glad you got what you were after with the green and cream tins!


Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

What are the odds I could get you to take a nice close up of your rear fender? Looking down on it from above? I am thinking of doing similar graphics on mine (blue and cream though) and I would love to see what it looks like before I commit to anything...

Good lookin ride. And while I'm usually not a big brown seat fan, it would probably go for you.

Wilco. Can't say much for my photography skills, but if there's some sun tomorrow, I'll PM you several shots of the rear at various angles.

Awesome. That's almost exactly the look I was thinking of originally, but some other ideas I saw floating around here have crept into my mind. Rally stripes? Long tailed scallops (matching the tank scallops)?

It's just so hard to decide. Your will may help.
Why can't I just have 3 or 4 bikes so I don't have to decide?! heh

Forgot to say earlier that you bike looks fantastic. If I had just read the words Green and Cream I would have thought No Way! But that looks great and really unique. Really British!
