I'm a 1954 model, conceived on a 1948 MAC Velocette, or so rumour has it.

The America is a 2007 model , the kids gave it to me for Fathers Day, funded it out of their inheritence.

As for going grey, who gives a rats, what was meant to be, will be, anyways, it all looks good from my side. I'm not about pleasing everyone else, I'm happy and enjoying life, what else can you be when your butt is sqashing an america saddle?
