My Widebody FB "PICS"

She's just about finished finshed.









I think I need a new radiator though. As soon as I install the Microtech I might have to sell her . I don't want to, but It would help towards the down payment on an Apt.

I hope to save the money on my own thougg since I just got a really good job with Canada dry

So what do you think?

Cosmo IC. I bought it for $50. It looks small, but it's pretty thick.

Hey Luis... I'll be moving to Florida (Jacksonville, most likely) in about 4 weeks...


It'd be nice to get a roommate, especially a first-gen rotard like myself! That'd be a helluva sight to see in the parking lot, huh? TWO widebody first gens!

Yes it would, but that's a little to north for my taste. I'm sure will get a chance to cruise during one of the Florida meets though.
