Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

I really like the color combination. The red and black water bottle cages are a nice touch. Rack up those miles.

That's a beautiful bike. I agree with all the comments about the miles. Some bikes just look like they need tons of miles. Like a real rowdy dog that you have to walk all the time. Enjoy.

Are you going to take it out in the snow, or wait until Spring? It's lovely!
