Miscellany: The cars of X-Marks

Here is a better picture of my SL (having trouble learning how to upload photos). Keeping a black car looking halfway decent in Alaska is an ongoing project, so I guess this is my project car.

It has been a lot of fun browsing through this thread. There are a lot of nice vehicles, and I love the variety. I particularly enjoy looking at the vintage vehicles.

I hope your licence plate says "BLKBRD" -- it is a Red 'Wing, after all...

1989 H-D Sportster. Rigid frame, rigid mount engine. 1936 BMW (repro) solo saddle, trailer fender in the rear. Paint job by Rhino Linings spray-on bedliner. 1200 valves in 883 sand-cast heads, mild bore job. High-lift, high-overlap cams. 4-speed, Kevlar clutch. There ain't a thing inside those "mufflers" but noise (and that's gonna change with a hand-built expansion chamber and Brooklands exhaust). Also changing it to suicide clutch/jockey shift in the near future.

This was the first bike I ever owned with a hand clutch...:mrgreen:

That is a fine looking Texas truck. I had one a year older in red untill last year. I loved that truck.
