Wow Steve, this is truly a great start to the month of November, we both get the bikes we've been searching for. I feel like it's Christmas already!   

Good luck with your Suzuki.

You're the only person I know of that can work with lead to fill in damaged metal.  I've read about it, but never seen it done.  Your painter does good work too.  Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

[reed]

Rowland,
I don't work with lead all the time its not good for your health even with a mask!!
Thanks.
Steve.

Then i can go riding.
Thanks.
Steve.
