What time does your driver collect you?

 

[Guru Gora]

Great place that.

I stay at the holiday inn on the corner for work and always pop in.

I’ll take my FTR there for its service I think

I've just noticed what looks like a compleate carbon hugger on the bike in the top picture; seen plenty of huggers before but nowt like that; is it an Indian special or a customer customised bike Doc?

Just sold to a customer down south. Paint work was gorgeous. It was customized but from the factory.

Big bucks there; they must have a good reputation selling as far away as that;

Note to self, avoid that bike shop in Perth, especially with credit card

That’s a limited edition 125th Anniversary Chief Vintage; it’s a factory custom paint job.

The rear is a one piece valanced fender, not a hugger, I think the paint scheme is deceiving you.

Yeh i can see what you mean with the front; the term is called Frenched if i'am not mistaken; i'am thinking the chrome bolts on the rear guard are holding it in place.
