Went back with the stock colors, gave the old girl new life.


Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you're in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

The ole girl looks AWESOME Grumpy!

She should be "good to go" for another 9 or 10 years now.

You are correct, dismantling one of those Interstates for paint and getting her put back together again is a long enduring task. On the bright side though, you now know where every nut bolt and retainer is.  :cooldude:

They finally got nailed, one got a year, and 3 years probation with the stipulation of payment for the damages to mine and the 6 cars they vandalized.
the other 2 got 6 months and a year probation.

[Got to admit, it was a job, but I managed to do a lot of maintenance while it was stripped down.

When they do theitr time, I hope they need lots of soap! ...if you know what I mean.

Grumpy,  Glad to hear they caught them.  The bike looks like new, as it should.  :cooldude:
