Hi, Road Glide Bro Greg!

Do you want me to color you a picture?

I was going to, but the paint is chipping off around the neck and bottom. I'm not going to cover the name, but she's getting redone

Maybe Chris will offer to put the crayons to it, John.

Sent my old bike mechanic a pic. He wants me to send it up for him to pin stripe it. I might just do it

Going for this look, minus the red striping. Stripes will be gloss black. My friend says he can do it ghost style so the light has to hit it right

I will not offer, but if asked, I may be so inclined.

Evening Woodrow's....

Took beautiful Pearl for some Kubbing this evening. No plan, just point and go.

Got back a bit ago and fired up the Shovel.

Shovelheads are particular. You can't let it sit a month or so like newer bikes. Well, you can, but a list of problems can arise, sumping, firing on one cylinder, etc. They need to be started and ran/rode weekly. That probably eliminates 90% of the Poindexters out there.....

Sumping wasn't a big deal in 1974. Next good fire up it belched most of it out and hopefully some on the chain....
