Ok, the only thing 360 on that is the speedo.  I'd call it a raked cruiser, it doesn't look much like a chopper.  Anyway, it looks awesome, I like the simple barebones look.  Need paint though, like a flat black.

My motorcycle is dead until next week.   It seems like the battery is just not enough power to start the bike.  It's weird.  New battery, had it checked twice.  The bike doesn't start, the starter turns over about twice and then the bike dies.  However, I add the 2amp trickle charger to it and it jump starts just fine.  Me thinks the starter or voltage regulator is going to shit.  It needs an oil change anyway to I will let the shop figure it out.

Short little story. I worked at a gas station, had a drive off, called police. "We can't do anything about it but write out a report." "But officer, he fled out of here with stolen gasoline, nearly hitting vehicles on the road upon his exit!" "Did you see the person pumping the gas?" "No I didn't sir, but I have the vehicle description, and license plate number." "Well we can do nothing because you cannot verify who was operating the vehicle." AH HA! So did they see this biker's face? I think not. Can you really issue a citation to a vehicle and not a person? Surely you could, but what other factors would there be to catch someone with these cameras? Can you charge 3 people with the same crime even though only one person could have done it?

Are they sure it wasn't that little malaysian monkey? Did they actually see a MAN'S face?

Well surely Baine won't get caught...don't those cameras record vehicles and occupants over 3 feet high?

That would be neat to test to see if a person could get away with it over 200mph.
