I apologize to the purists, I be bad..............

Added a touch of red pinstripes to compliment interior and hash marks.
Art is happy!

All I have to say about that is, when we were at Ft. Devens, I rode along with Ken @l98terror and with the extra ballast, he put down his fastest time of the day.

You balanced out the camber.

I frequently put down my fastest laps with passengers, despite the added weight. Every 100 #'s is a tenth of a second.

"Heavens to Murgatroyd, Pinstripes On A C8" QUOTE OP.

Wow we used to use that term in the early 1960s when I went to jr high.




First time I have seen/heard it used in a long time!


Thanks for the memories!--
