Yep! It's a beauty alright, though it just needs one little thing to make it a "perfect beauty"...A FRIGGIN' REAR FENDER!



Be good incentive not to gain any weight (or lose some in my case). Didn't we have someone here have an ass grabbing no rear fender experience recently?





Ummmmm...YEAH, I think we DO! And, I think that someone is erle...who, I understand, is presently working on puttin' a rear fender back on his bike!

make sure that bag on the back won't fall off. i came up on a guy who got his sleeping back stuck in there and it was bad news.

Funny, but true story here.

While on the EDR last year, I hit the pothole of all potholes at high speed.
I bounced up off of the seat, and when I came back down, I hit on top of the rear tire.
It grabbed my ass with such force that it pulled me through between the tire and the frame, and swing arm, and plastered me to the asphalt.
The rear wheel then went over me, throwing the bike into an end-over-end cartwheel.

All I EVER heard was a "BEEP-BEEP"

Needless to say, after that experience, I have installed a bobbed read fender, so it will NEVER happen again!

Thank goodness I wasn't wearin' a helmet, or my head could have gotten stuck between the tire and the swing arm. Not to mention. the damage to the bike would have definitely been worse.
