Nice ride, what colour is that?

I used my bagger as a prop in a photo shoot. I was teaching my daughter to run the camera and how to properly use depth of field, framing, and lighting. She took this:

It was just a few short years ago, I paid less than that to fill my car. This is what it looks like when governments "help" the people.

Went for a little rip this morning, came home and installed the 1-1/4 floorboard spacers and repositioned the driver backrest. Went for a test ride, the spacers really make a huge difference comfort wise.

When you say comfort, do you mean leg cramps, that type of thing, or heat, or both maybe? Make a big difference on your lean angle? I have never scraped my floorboards except on slow U turns.

I have bad hips, they cramp/ache almost immediately when riding. I only test rode for about 10 minutes but definitely notices hips felt better. I was not paying attention the heat but I would think further away has got to be cooler. I scrape my floorboards regularly so we will have to see if that changes but I do not think it will make any difference.

Couldn’t help but modify the “new” seat…


Painted the plastic cover w/ a couple coats of Testors gloss black, followed by a couple coats of clear. Chased the threads on the brass ferrules and then made a mesh insert to jazz it up a bit.
