Now do one in olive drab, the badge-work replaced with stencil markings. Just like the WWII HDs.

Like, I saw the post on my Facebook page yesterday and looked through your Flickr pics, nice job!

Also love the 'Half Man Half biscuit' reference in your user name!!

Hmmmmm. Can't make up my mind. I like it but probably wouldn't want one just exactly like it.

I think Harley calls that color "denim black."

I like it on the body better than I do on the wheels.

Very well executed!

The Black Jack was inspired by a dealer custom. Kind of hoping this might do the same. :)

It's definitely growing on me.

Wonder how well those little wheels will travel over the 25 miles of bumpy county road I commute to work? Or how well I'd hold up?

They're bigger and have better shocks and brakes than the ones used on many Italian bumpy country roads from the '40s onward.

A good point. I just can't seem to disassociate "scooter" from "urban."

Then again, the worst hole I hit today was a crack in the asphalt where a traffic signal loop was exposed. On my route in the county, the worst bumps are either humps or swags over drainage culverts.

Sadly, this applies to anything on 2 wheels, even Goldwings.

The red and black combination seems to be becoming a "thing."
