I can't get my phone to put pics on here. It was driving me crazy trying. I'll see what I can do today.

Welcome from Littleton.
I'm jealous I wish you would of posted up first and we could of rode up Mt. Evans together. I got as far as Echo lake on sat but had to head back do to putting it on reserve. I just made it back into Evergreen.
I hope after Deadwood on the 24th through the 28 we can go for a ride.
After seeing your bike it makes me want to wash and clean and paint mine.

Hey, Paul. I’m headed up to RMNP this Saturday night for the Howlin at the Moon ride if you wanna go with! Either way, I’d love to see your ride (especially those Bultacos…) at some point, let’s make it happen.
