[CatTomb]

  Congratulations on a job well done! Bike looks REDiculously good.

[Joe Sull]

Thanks CatTomb. I wanted my bike to look different and I guess it does. Was hoping to put a few miles on it but it's 20* - blow'n 30 and the roads are crap..

[Derek Young]

That is a hell of a lot of red!  I was skeptical, but you pulled it off.  A job well done!  Congratulations!

Joe, what I want to know is, if you hit the automatic "redeye" correction on your camera, does the bike disappear from the photo?

Noel

[Joe Sull]

Yes Noel. You'll have two tires and some cables left. Please don't hit the red eye

[FJscott]

Joe,

Cherry Bomb looks Dynomite

Thanks Scott, This bikes gonna save me a lot of aggravation when the tourist come to the island this summer. I'll be ready. They bung up the roads going 25-30 mph in a 50 mph.
Theres only 2 roads leading here from the outside world. They start about 40 miles out and then about 20 miles out both roads converge into one.
If you have to get anywhere, on or off the island , you can't get there. You pass one and there 10 more in front of that one going slow as death.
It's hard to imagine how they got here in the first place. Questions come to mind; Did they drive all the way from New York at 30 mph? Have they ever seen a tree before? Do they just stop in the middle of the road anytime they want where they live.
It's gonna be awesome because I'll be king of the road. Every time I pass one, I'll be thinking to my self "Who's the king"

Oh good. I`m glad ya don`t need a brake light.... I was a bit concerned they`d never see it!   

[FJscott]

Yeah Joe, I feel your pain when its silly season. I live in a small town in south Florida where the population doubles from thanksgiving through Easter.Its not uncommon to see a Blue-hair in the left lane with the left signal on make an abrupt right turn. One of the Guys I work with lives in Maine, Rockport. he says the same thing as you regarding the summer tourists. he lives on Ratcliff Island. I think that's Mid Coast. He just bought the old Rocky Bay Brewery in Rockport so if you find yourself over that way stop in and have a pint.

Scott, your buddy lives just across Penobscot bay from me. It's only 15 miles by boat but 60 mile to drive. That tourist ground zero, right there. I feel for him. The Rockland Lobster festival?
Hey, you feel the pain hah! You don't get the "Leaf Peepers" in October I bet. They'll slam on the brake to get a good foliage picture.

[FJmonkey]

Snowbird season in Mesa Arizona, motor-home capital of the USA. The car, big, Canada plates, the passengers, Q-tips in the front seat, Q-balls in the back, doing 30/35 in a 45. I do not miss those days... 

[BadBro]

Time well invested and showing.  Nice job.  (Speigler brake lines and banjo bolts come in red)
