It’s actually not gold, but the ‘natural’ DID VX. I guess it must be the light in that photo, because it looks a lot more silver/grey in person.

I thought about the gold to go with the red and forks and such but at 79.00 for the natural 110 I stayed with natural. 1 Ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun!

It was a gift from a motorcycling friend, who also happens to be a Shreveport cop, about 30 years ago. I thought you might approve... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the motion pro trail tool under the seat, for you know, absolute emergencies when something breaks and you can only get home if you fix it by the road side. One of those emergencies must be the lack of beer as this stripped-down, ultra-light, essential components only, has a bottle opener built in 😎 1 Red 2015 Tracer, UK spec (well, it was until I started messing with it...)

The restaurants were selling boiled drive thru but that hasn't been enough. I'm supossed to be in The Hill Country this weekend coming up but that's a no go. Hopefully it will be good the end of May for our Eureka Springs meet. 1 Ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigG Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I'v painted the belly pan in the same colour as the gas tank. in the second picture the sun was very strong and the angle of the bash plate make it show a different colour (like the small part under the seat) but the colour is in fact the same as the OEM colour. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah I'm in the Bible Belt so yeah missed us by the grace of GOD! Scary stuff. I have a friend in Chattanooga that had a huge scare last night, too. He was in the basement with his dogs when the tornado roared by... his house was ok, but only a few hundred yards away things were heavily damaged. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you and texscottyd. I read a lot of news and things from all over the world. It was an article that said something like, Islanders "Traumatized"by volcano. WTH? If you are traumatized by the volcano you move. Come hell or high water you find a way to move. Me I live in tornado alley. If I was traumatized by tornado's I'd move. I'd find a place that felt safer to me. I lived in California from 1979 to 1986. Plenty of quakes, a big 1 too I remember. I think 1980? Also the Olympics in 1984. I lived in Venice Beach, The Eternal Carnival. 1/2 a block off the beach on Thornton Ave right across from the RTD station. Nothing like 250 or so buses rumbling/idling from 4 AM. I worked a factory job. Everest and Jennings Wheelchairs. I made the hand-rims to go on wheelchairs. The part you grab with your hands. Didn't care about quakes. Hey it's natural for where you are. Things move and you make sure nothing is above or close to you that can fall on you. Tornado's happen in tornado alley. It's home and it's what I'm used to. I have been in a school room under a desk as the tornado threw a trashcan through the window into the room. Just like it was yesterday. I have a healthy respect for the tornado, just like the bike can kill me. I have a healthy respect for the bike, LOL! And yes I'm getting up right now to get another, the 3rd highball glass with a couple of cubes in it and 2 to 3 oz. of good bourbon. It cures what ales ya! Yes I'm rambling....... 😁 Edited April 13, 2020 by tktplz 1 1 Ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I'm rambling....... 😁 I get it... Home Is Home. I’ve lived along the Texas Gulf Coast for 30 plus years, and the very real threat of hurricanes and flooding is just part of the deal. You try to prepare (physically and mentally), hope for a little good luck, and then put the pieces back together again if you end up on the bad end of nature’s fury. That said, tornados are a different beast. You know a hurricane is coming, and have time to react to some extent... generally you either hunker down or you leave. But tornados happen quickly and only marginally-predictably, and pack incredible violence into a series of dense, short-duration events. I’m not exactly sure my point, other than the idea that everyone’s perspective of ‘acceptable natural hazards’ is based on the devil you know. Enjoy your bourbon! I think you’ve earned a relaxed evening... -Scott 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsmith Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 What's the diff between a hurricane and a tornado? Here in the coastal tropics of the South Pacific we see a number of cyclones every year, without fail. Many are very destructive and deadly. But I've never heard them referred to as hurricanes? Is it possibly something to do with where they form and are created - over land or over the sea?
