Maybe... But red is really not my color!  :D And being 6'2" with a 36" inseam, I was really looking at a Triumph or a Beamer.

        Well, to each his own. But, if I had the money and could get to it, I'd take the Norton in a heartbeat! 8) And, yes, I WOULD change things back to stock! Maybe not the seat, but the handlebars and definitely that front fender! ;)

I'm 6'2" with a 34" inseam and my 75 norton commando 850 fits me perfectly

EDIT: My 78 BMW R100/7 fits me better...but prepare for hot feet with your feet right between the pipes and the cylinders lol. The seat on the Norton is a million times more comfortable btw  :P

Deadwood is a strange place. Moria Hill is the place to see all the graves of people who built the town. And up the hill is Lead where the worlds largest goldmine (Homestake Goldmine) is. They are turning the underground part into a high energy physics lab.
