I love that design, I grew up around Harley’s that size,
but they always had the extended forks and the “ape
hangers” handle bars and the open exhaust. Many
were hard-tails too, that looks like a soft-tail. Oh I
forgot the semi-padded queen seat with the high
chrome back rest.
I don’t know, zooming in on the bike on
the last page (p2) I can’t see any rear
shocks, unless they are built into the
swing arm. The tail pipes pretty much
block clear view. A lot of the off-road
bikes had that setup.
I have some ideas for use of electroluminescent paint on
bikes and cars. If they can be layered over each other,
at least in translucent layers, and be ‘painted over’ with
a translucent layer that the electroluminescent paint can
show through, I have some truly wild ideas for computer
controlled moving paint jobs. Programmable segments
lighting up from under the ‘paint’ of the vehicle.
A nonlit electrochromatic paint job could also be done…
Miral’s right about the color issue, while my SS
had a red tank with black/silver sides, on a
bright day the glitter in the paint would reflect
up. Annoying at best. Cissy’s gonna be seein’
$$ signs outta of this, and Ahmya’s sisters will
love her long time! heh.
I agree with Teresa, just because the rulers of
a planet are a wet fart, that doesn’t mean the
rest of them are. And she’s right, now that they
know it can be done, it won’t take long to figure
it out. Wish 1, Taritha’s life extended to match
or surpass Teresa’s
2: Long life and health for her loved ones.
3: unknown
I still like the idea of her having full telepathy
with those she knows, might come in handy
during a rough conflict. But there are serious
down-sides to knowing what everyone thinks
all the time…
My son has the right idea for night riding, he’s
got running string lights on the sides, on his
added black tail bag, and his bike is totally white.
it’s a retired police cruiser, so I hope it makes
some do a do a double take.
Three wishes, eh?
Puts me in mind of the end of the
movie The Time Machine (1960,
Rod Taylor). “George” travels back
forward in time to the Eloi to help
rebuild their civilization. At his
departure, it is discovered that he has
taken three books from his library with
him. The guessing game was, what
three books did he take with him to the
future?
I remember that, I thought long and hard about those books.
knowing the common thoughts on the late 50’s opinions, I
guessed one would have been a bible, to teach religion,
another on language, to teach both the spoken and written
word. The final book has to this day plagued me, not
knowing that man made the last book a hard one to figured
out. a medical book? A history book on the growth of a
civilization? It’s a choice we were left out of.
Thinking about it, he was a scientist, so maybe
something on basic metallurgy? The Murlocs did
so much to feed their “cattle” that even in the
movie it was said their easy life had ended. So
anything from farming to live stock raising
would come into play as well.
I have to wonder if Loki’s “wish”
is as much a test of Teresa’s
strength of will and character,
as it is also a granting of power.
So far, Teresa seems to be doing
pretty good.
Teresa’s never been one to use the “Easy” button,
so I have little doubt “Loki” will chuckle and go
along with it. No civilization ever built had it easy
from the start, so I doubt Teresa would even consider it.
If you never ask, you'll never get it.
Hmm. Three wishes, but to fulfill her one desire?
I’m thinking a wish each for three different people.
Or something like that.
Dang! All the cruisers sold right off the bat.
Time to reorder already. At least Ahmya’s will
still be running around town for a while.

the 24 sporty has a swing arm..
no rear shocks…
It’s more like a Softtail, with a single
shock/spring horizontal under the seat.
That was my first thought, I seen it used a lot
on off-road bikes, it was only a matter of time
it would be on the street.
electrochromic paint.!
then they can choose
whatever color they want
Menard’s have had that for years for
home renovation/building projects,
it only makes sense that they’d
have it for cars/bikes sooner or
later.

Maybe pink striping or the sides of
the tank where it won’t reflect up?
The seat color won’t matter too much.
3 colors NOT to paint,. Red, cop magnet.
Green (kelly), it acts like camo.. and black
at night no one can see you.!

Not to mention that having some species’ sun
go nova would pretty much be genocide.
Even the shitbats don’t deserve THAT!

it says in the book ,, not the movie..
Grays Anatomy, metallurgy, and
Theory of Time…

Pc, I was wondering if you got my email or the package I sent?
