    I don't know if this was your last bike @msdesignltd but I had a lot of work done to it and as a highway cruiser it was very stable. In retrospect, I'm sorry I sold it, even though it was not a standard Harley:

    I recently bought a bunch of new helmets, including a Schuberth C5 and a pair of Hedons (for the Morgan Super3).
    Among the current bikes I own are a 68 BMW R69s which has been mechanically gone over quite thoroughly but is really not "restored"- just a clean survivor, as well as a RE 120 Anniversary 650 Continental (which I put some decent rubber on and added Hitchcocks' "slash" slip-ons). When I lived in NY, I had a few Italian bikes as well.

    wh - I’m a big fan of v-rods - own two, one of which I chopped (adding 18 degrees of rake and 10” on the forks).

    Keep riding!!!

    Not sure I have more photos of the V-Rod- back in those days, I'm not sure how many were digitized. That bike got sold. Dave Finn, who was a chopper builder in Sparkill did the work for me on it. I started living in Austin TX part-time in 2012 and eventually bought a house in Travis Heights, very close to the river dividing downtown and south Austin. I mainly ride in the country, it takes 20 minutes or so to get out of the fray going south, Hill Country--where those awful floods just happened is prime motorcycle country but there are some routes north of us, up near Lake Travis, that are pretty challenging. People ride out west, which is vast. Some nice roads here, but summer is brutal. I see you moved too. Haven't really been back--one trip for a condolence call and another for a wedding up in Westchester. My wife still goes back to NY frequently.
