Absolutely, definitely a 65? Not a 63, by any chance? On Friday, October 13, 2017 at 11:15:21 AM UTC-4, jim wrote: > > Beautiful bike!! Wish I wasn't getting laid off. > > Jim in Madison WI > > On Thursday, October 12, 2017 at 7:34:07 PM UTC-5, Ben Miller wrote: >> >> A complete Homer Hilsen bike

Thanks Bill. I did fender it for awhile, but some time during the drought they came off and never went back on. I do prefer it fenderless. With all these fires I'd happily fender back up if it brought the rain though :/ Definitely ORRG on Tam. The Homer tackles that no problem. Lots of fun fire
