Some more from yesterdays ride. Went for a ride today and used my GoPro for the very first time. Haven't been able to play it on my PC yet though.

Went back to the old warehouse to catch the setting sunlight again. It really makes the tires pop.

Re: FireWing 53 Columbia 3 Star 8/3 COMPLETE DONE PHOTOS

Firewing is complete. I will post in the Finished Section later tonight. Currently I am still uploading some stuff and I need to pick from my finished photos. Plus I need to take QueenFish out to dinner for putting up with my "Rat Rodding".

I decided not to wait on the painting the tank and guard vents. Those will have to come some other time. I AM DONE!!!!

This is the smallest house in the Historic District. Looks like Firewing was meant to be here.

Looks like the YouTube video is still processing, but you will be able to find it here

It's 17 minutes long and gives y'all a feel for the main street I take my rides on through Savannah's Historic District. This is Bull St going around Johnson Square and then heading South all the way through Forsyth Park then back home down the Lane. Feel free to skip to the end, but definitely watch the last 4 minutes or so.
 
Re: FireWing 53 Columbia 3 Star 8/3 COMPLETE DONE PHOTOS+VIDEO!

It's not bad at all. I've been riding it 3 hours a day for 3 days straight and butt is fine.
 
Re: FireWing 53 Columbia 3 Star 8/3 COMPLETE DONE PHOTOS+VIDEO!

Great pics, loving the tour of Savannah. While I was shooting mine I had tourists talking about all the details on mine. It is pretty cool to strike a cord with people who may not be into bike but appreciate uniqueness.
 
Re: FireWing 53 Columbia 3 Star 8/3 COMPLETE DONE PHOTOS+VIDEO!

GREAT WORK B!!! THAT COCA COLA SHOT IS GREAT. YA PICS ARE FAB. YOU DID IT AGAIN. PEACE

Thanks Jake! It's a toss up for me between the Coke pic or the Loading Dock pic.

I checked out the video...Savannah seems like a really cool place to visit. May have to check it out sometime. And BTW, your bike is definitely getting a vote from me!

Come down for a ride and a beer! I am honored that Firewing is worthy of your vote. Sorry that Silent Assasin won't be complete in time. I think it would have held it's own with the best. You have mad skills my friend! THANKS for your support!!
