I must say that is a nice looking machine.

That's a real beauty Dan! Must be great craic cruising down the open road at full throttle (or whatever the motorcycle equivalent is).
Also, I get the impression Walter White is about to walk out of one of those driveways at any moment... Have you noticed anything strange in your neighbourhood recently? Perhaps an RV with some bullet holes in the side door...? A pizza on top of the garage? A pink teddy bear with one eye missing?

Re: New Family Member
Thanks for the compliments. Been a few mods since I brought it home.
Better plug. Went with Iridium. It burns hotter, the idle is MUCH better, and there's a definite difference when I add throttle.
Installed a different seat. A bit "meaner", and just as comfortable as the stock seat.
Crash bar. My knees are already bad enough, so may as well protect them.
Reverse Megaphone silencer. Pic is in Tim's thread about his bike. Really improved the looks and response. I've an angle adapter on it's way to upsweep the silencer about 10 degrees.
It ain't the fastest bike out there, as it's designed to handle the roads in India, so it's a great machine for the two-lane back roads here!
Thinking about replacing the generic trafficators (turn signals) with something a bit more classic, since it's really a '55 frame with a few important upgrades, and deciding which wind shield to get.
After driving the roads in the Republic and Northern Ireland, this would be ideal there!
