yup. It's still ugly from all angles.  Does it take a lot of effort for him to get down for those ground lvl shots, or does he just have bad knees?

Looks like he had to turn his hat sideways to sit on it. Sorry, I know it's rude to make personal remarks. He looks a little uncomfortable on it.

one good, hard stop and he'd faceplant the tank.

PS: I'd pay to see that.

Hmm, if it would go 165 with all the wind resistance from the ape hangers and the elevated tank, think how fast it would go with the tank mounted normally, and clip-ons, so he could really tuck in! Someone should tell him that Bonneville is coming up. He should be a sure bet for the 200 club! ;)
