No offence intended here at all Heff...but that cooler made me laugh! I instantly had a vision of a couple of big burly leather clad bikers jumping onto their Nightsters or Dyna's or whatever for a lovely afternoon picnic with their colour coordinated napkins and all...maybe with a nice chilled White Wine! LMAO....gotta love how those visions just jump into our heads sometimes....

hey... i didn't buy it! 
nor, would i!
evidently, it was marked down to almost nothing... probably because it is not leather and chrome.   :D

i'm just glad it was for BOTH elizabeth and i  :D  i can't take all the credit for receiving weird gifts!

         I don't have any pictures, but a very good friend sent me 2 boxes of 450DOHC parts to use on my 450 projects! Even included some polished parts too! Can't beat that, in my book! 8) ;) And another very good friend sent me an Indian die cast motorcycle. 8) ;)  It'll fit right in with the ones I already had (didn't have THAT particular one. How could he have known that? Just coincidence I guess.

                                     Later on, Bill :) ;)

Judging by your avatar I hope that isn't the new radar detector! Could be a #$%* to mount that!!  :D

Not sure dusterdude? It doesn't seem to have any markings on it but I'll have a closer look. It kind of looks like a custom built job to me.. not very clean welds, and some mix matched wheels so maybe its a prototype? Works well very good though, it is a very nice lift. My Dad said the PO had two HD's he use to lift with it so it should have no problem with my lil' 350  :D

Hey Dennis,

My avatar is not a picture of myself, only something I saw that cracked me up. I'm not as daring as that although I will mount almost anything.

All best,
Ben

Well, most importantly, I got one of these:



and one of these:



And some other stuff....................  ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
