This is what you get when you uncrate a new bike. I guess they all now come with black rims and chrome spoke

Ron B · 03-10-2016, 05:37 PM

Guess I'll have to try another way to load pics

Ron B · 03-10-2016, 06:11 PM

Ron B · 03-10-2016, 08:13 PM

Black rims

Ron B · 03-11-2016, 07:21 AM

Sory about the upside down pictures. Guess it was my phone. Pealed all the decals off. Bright yellow one on the rear fender said " For off road use only". Guess that gives them a out if you can't get it titled.

looks REALY good. man dunno who packed yours but NOT the same guy who packed mine !
oh, and re "good source" i live in what we call out here a "hollow". before he died some years ago, the fellow whose family used to own the whole valley, including my ranch, came up and gave me his "recipe", :} There is a big pristine, spring-fed water filled cave under my house from which his family made shine for over 100 years, and apparently made a helluva lot of money doing it. he gave me a sample when i bought the place :} WOW!! i think u could fuel rockets with that stuff, but damned it tasted good.

Wow! I like the black rims! It looks very "TT250-ish"!...and boy...I could use some good "refreshment". The bars out here are selling legal shine from distillers in sealed mason jars but it's not the real thing. Not like when I used to visit the South in my younger years.... You could get a tilt on AND disinfect your bathroom, all in one jar! ;-)

I would really like to see the arms of that Chinaman who puts those kickstand Springs on
