Yeah we got speed cameras everywhere on our roads down here too, but thankfully in the state I live they only photograph from the front, which kind of makes bikes exempt from getting caught for speeding.

Did you make a template? Looks super. Nice to see custom work on sickles that still wear their exedras and mag mopus'. Catching it early huh? I think I am looking at my-in the next twelve months-commuter. Or what it may approach. Although I'll have to get used to exposing the front rubber?! Maybe a bobbed front fender or one from a speedy. I can only look at y'alls rides and drool for now.

Cool luggage rack. All aluminum (even the threaded rod?)? Over here we call them acorn nuts, castle nuts have slots for cotter pins. Nicely made.

Hey Peter, she's looking good!

I hope that's not your regular riding gear!

How come you still have the rear pegs? Filling the holes?
