I can't see the grey for the white, or something like that.

Winter for us supposed to be with snow yet all the storms dump it south of the border and we have barely a dusting. Not fair :!: Again, New York will get a good storm and the weathergirl said if we are lucky we will get some, but it does not look like we will get any.

At least BG was talking about Nortons, not the weather outside his window.

Just trying to encourage more bike talk, less schoolgirly "We don't like you Ben" stuff.

I'll freely admit I appear to be failing badly at it.

No offence to any real, young, female schoolgirls who might be reading.

Kommando, you need some new cliches!

And he did ask:

Triton, I am not the one defending BenG by suggesting any one who doesn't like his bile is a schoolgirl, so I am allowed a cliche or 2.

Cleanup on aisle 4!

Time for the moderator to remove all non-650SS related posts.

You spend too much time at Walmart :wink: which you probably go to on your Norton (to stay on topic)

Greg, if you get a chance please post more pictures. I'd like to see the project in it's entirety or what you started with and what you have sort of thing.

All it is now is some cool parts in plastic tubs.
I sure will start a new thread on the build when I get it looking like more than just 3 tuff bins full of junk :shock:
