We think your photo is totally awesome! That photo will be something to look back on and smile, for for years to come. Not to get sappy, but in all marriages sometimes you hit rough patches and when you guys hit one, this photo will be great to pull out and look at...and remember why you...

Here's the close up of the bags. They are kind of fragile I don't want to handle them too much, but I love the Indian motorcycle graphic on them!

Thanks for the info. I posted a New Topic asking the same question I didn't know if I would get a response here. I will be looking for an event to go to....thanks again!

I'm here in the "thumb" of Michigan, but I'm wondering if there are any groups of bike builders anywhere in Michigan? Not necessarily a club but :lol: builders that get together and swap ideas? Right now I'm the goofy old guy with the weird bicycles....that's OK with me but I'm just...

I could not make Autorama, but can you tell me is there a group of bike builders around S E Michigan or for that matter any where in Michigan? I am up in Lapeer amd I'm the goofy old guy with the weird bicycles! I'm looking for other builders. This my current build. I call it the Chief...
