Sorry KB02, had to shrink the pics.  Too see them bigger, right-click the image and then select "View image" to see them at full size.  This works well with BobbyR's pics too.

That's about the most difficult to read item description I've ever come across! :o
You might want to revise that before you get any bids.  It's almost impossible to read.

Don't worry about the contest, though.  Loonymoon was in the running for April BOTM while in the process of selling her 350F and got close to winning, and rightfully so.

I was going let this one go through this becuase of Loonymoons.

I need to make notes when I see pictures of bikes that I like.  I always come across ones that I'd like to nominate when the nominations aren't open, and then I can't remember where i saw them later on.

Hey MAX MPH, sorry, you cannot nominate yourself.  Someone else has to.

The good thing is now we know you exist.  Good change of being nominated for next months BOTM.
