The Wizard...



Reasons:

1. Wizards are cool,
2. This thing makes me ride like a Wizard,
3. The Wizard is magical and so is an old FJ with some modifications.

All sound about the same...  anyway, he's "The Wizard"

There's plenty of time for sleep in the grave...

Rhino

i call mine  "the  fj " so i know which bike im talking about

Rhino

yeah Kev, I was referring to yours. I wasn't sure if i was nuts or not, it looked wrong.
I've seen a few bikes in general recently and the front tyres looked like the tread was around the wrong way.
I thought it might have just been the voices in my head playing a prank on me.

Jenny, like the old Biplane.

Of the plane or my bike?

In case it's of my bike, here she is.



The reason I went with Jenny is because I feel like I'm flying in an open cockpit.

We named all our vehicles, including our cars. We're kinda sick like that.  :wacko2:

His tread looks right to me.................Usually on the front tire, if it's mounted correctly, the tread looks like it is going the wrong way around, but it is correct according to the arrow on the sidewall (direction of rotation) I believe it has to do with wet traction while braking? I could be wrong though.....
