Nice

It's a shame you don't live around these parts, a friend of mine is selling her Harley which was custom painted - it's a work of art

My friend just mentioned yesterday that he has an old Bonneville in the barn that only needs a simple fix.

One of the biggest Swiss retailers, not 'high-end' but not that far off.

I am just surprised at the price of it being $1 and made in Switzerland and apparently Wal-Mart can still presumably make a profit on it.

Granted they do seem to sell very well, so volume might make up for it.

All our vehicles have $50 dash cams, best investment ever. Video footage vs their lies.

We never gotten one, but probably should.

I had a way different perspective of cars and drivers from my time riding my scooter, I should never have sold it, but really opened my eyes to how bad drivers can be, luckily never had any close calls, but I learned to be hyper aware of cars and trucks, they do not see you when your on 2 wheels.

Looks good.
Curious to know if you've now got the 'tattoo bug'? I remember getting one and then immediately wanting another...but I resisted and the feeling passed.
