oh my gawd, stop reading my mind, that's what I soooo want to do, but I asked my wife, the artsy fartsy person in the family for some photo shoot ideas, and she goes well if they didn't start building that new skool by our house, you could have done it there, those yellow flowers were so beautiful.... YELLOW FLOWERS? whacha talkin' about woman, we want Industrial, we want Rustic, we want old tractors and combines and hell... rail roads and cemeteries, bwhaaa haa ha

um....

surprisingly amazing, but it is a heavy old truck sitting on a Camaro sport car "suspension" what I'm saying is that you are not floating like in a Cadillac, but she don't rattle your brain either nor pound yer kidneys like a hard tail (I'm looking at you my '83 Shovelhead)

the steering is tight and very responsive, and I haven't even rebuilt it yet, [probably why, cause I don't wanna mess it up]

the alignment is good too, she drives straight when I do the "Look Mum No Hands" test
