I know what you mean!  I keep wanting to move towards a full dresser, but at the same time a stripped down Drifter chopper would be so cool!

Funny stuff. You guys are killin me. I like that red. I keeep batting the idea around of painting the bike. But it seems there arent many gooseberrys left. So it makes me want to keep it. Im just going to have to get another to customize a bit.

My wife approves of my 2 girlfriends.  Nadine you've already met, and this is Lucille.....

But then, when your wife is hot, she'll put up with a lot!

Sorry, but I gotta brag on her a little.  Besides, maybe if she see's this I'll get some brownie points!

My wife wanted one of those a few years back, after her knee surgery for therapy.  We ended up with a 3 wheeler instead, and I'm sure that was a better choice at the time.  Don't show her yours now though, or I'll be off to the bike store again!

 ;) it is a really comfy ride but hardest part is taking off from a stop because your feet are up and in front, takes about 5 trys to get comfortable doing it, second thing is that you can not stand up to peddle, if you are going up a hill you should be leaning forward and not lean back on the seat. Turning radius is really large if you are going slow, but thend it does turn on a dime when moving, and counter steering is awesome. Never tried to figure out my top speed but on hills it was really scary fast...lol...
