That is just motivating and demoralizing at the same time. I can see out the window and into the street street in the reflection of the side covers!! Gorgeous!

Thanks guys, another beautiful morning here in NW Washington. I have a web page on facebook called "Bradshaw Bikes". Yesterday a guy walked into my shop and repeatedly asked me to sell the No Quarter to him. I kept telling him it was not for sale, that I was riding it this summer. crazy.

That's when you put a "STUPID" price on it. If he bites, you go buy 5 more bikes with the money. lolol

Sound advice there!
These things can happen. When Doug and I were stopped for gas (not sure where, might have been around Robinsville) a guy and his wife pulled in alongside. Doug was offered a straight swap; the guy's late model Mustang? for Cyborg.
