Some new pictures

[Vrod-Mike]

I just finished my winter mods and gave the bike it's first good cleaning of the year so I figured I would take some new pics. These were taken yesterday.

It's pretty obvious you don't have kids. People with kids can't afford that much chrome.

[GAZOO!]

Mike,
I've always loved that motorcycle! Thanks for the new pics.

Do you have a list of all you have done to your ride? And haven't you done all the work on your own?

I have a list somewhere over on 1130cc. if you're interested I'm sure I can find it and yes I've done all the work myself. Except of course for the paint.

I just thought folks might be interested in knowing all you are capable of doing to these motorcycles and exactly what you have done to make yours what it is today.

A man of many talents! How did you learn to do all this work?
Have you ever built one from the ground up? Is that what you will do with the 1430?

I was forced to learn. Everytime I brought the bike to my dealer it came back with something wrong. Finally I had enough and started learning how to do everything myself. Now there isn't anything I won't try myself. I've even begun to work on local Vrods because everyone has the same problems with dealers that I did.
