I have sat on a few but found they were too tall for me, I never bothered to enquire if they could be lowered. I like them even more than Ducati's. Great pics!Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972915028116604677.post-72704497626715788152014-07-18T12:34:35.575-05:002014-07-18T12:34:35.575-05:00Stop up and visit us in Wisconsin....it never rain...Stop up and visit us in Wisconsin....it never rains at that one.

There were two large pots of coffee under the shelter, plus the tea, ice water and lemonade, 24/7. Those lines were non-existent. :)Coop a.k.a.

According to the conversation that I walked in on, Jahn hails from more than one place, the bike is licensed in a different location than where it's stored; the ability to cross borders had something to do with it. The story was complicated and sounded like country name dropping. What I do know is that Jahn is an interesting character with possibly a "Bond-ish" past.Coop a.k.a.

Just a nice balance of everything in a lovely location. Based on the stump, I was thinking the 'bush' was trying to be some sort of nut tree again but I'm no expert.Coop a.k.a.

I think that little struggling tree is a type of Sumac. Looks like it from the leaves, but then I am not 100% sure.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.com
