Gort,
Love the look Man! The helmet, the coat. Priceless. I am curious about your cars though. Is that a London Taxi in your deiveway? And the red car, can't make out the insignia on the grill. What make of car is that?

The maroon car is a '71 Wolseley 16/60. It has a 60H.P. engine. Wolseleys or their parts were never commercially imported into America. I went to England 10 years ago to meet my wife's parents, and her father had this car in a little stone garage behind his house. It was like new and he rarely drove it. I liked it so much that every day I asked to see it again. On the last day of my visit, he said I could have it as a gift, if I could arrange to ship it to CA. $600. later it arrived on a cargo ship. It is a 30MPG car and my favorite.

The '67 Austin FX4 London Taxi was about to be crushed by a wrecking yard when I rescued it. I removed the little diesel engine, trans and rear axle assy. and fitted a 350 Chevy engine, 3 speed turbo Hydromatic and 9" Ford rear axle assy, among MANY other modifications. I put about 25,000 miles on it and sort of lost interest. I never got to the body work, and probably won't, as I am thinking to sell it. I just don't drive it much anymore. Its my understanding that it is the only Chevy engined London Taxi in the world. You can see a pic of the engine and interior, here...(scroll down to find it):

Here's a full size and a couple others.

My wife is a professional photographer so she had to play around a bit. This second one is our reflection in the right front turn indicator.

This last one is of her laying on the bike. She didn't like the face she was making so she cropped out half her body. Women...

The "filmstrip" pics in my signature can be viewed fullsize at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/steverevealed/sets/72157605421006755/

Hey infrared41, what Nikon are you shooting there? I run a D80...

Also - what size are those saddlebags? Do they interfere with the rear pegs or a passenger?

I shoot with a Nikon D40. I use an 18-200 lens. I also have a little Fuji Finepix 5100 which is the best 300 dollar camera I have ever seen. It's what the picture was taken with. And I have an old Canon AE-1 film camera with a bunch of lenses.

I don't know about the size of the saddlebags. the whole setup was custom made by the bike's previous owner. Those bags have sheet metal reinforcements on the inside so they won't sag and he made a mounting system for them on the bike. If you want I'll take pictures of it to show you what I am obviously having a tough time describing.

I am not big on passengers so I don't know if they would get in the way or not. I like riding alone.

Hard Corps,

Do you have the OEM S40 Engine Guard on your bike?

If not,what kind is it?

Honestly, I don't know. I guess I had assumed it was OEM. The bike is an '03 I bought from a 'zuki dealer. Never really payed much attention to it. There are a few mods to the bike but I never really found out much. The bike was the dealers niece's or something. I think I'll have to go in this week actually and see if I can get her contact info and find out what all was done on the bike. Seems like the carb's been re-jetted and some aftermarket controls added. The seat is different from the older savages and the s40's, too. Is super comfortable. May be aftermarket as well. I've only seen a few other savages in person so I'm still learning what's stock and what's add-on.

Comfortable seat? Ok,LOL...you gotta let me know what kind it is...when you find out Grin

That's top priority for me.... mine is original...very uncomfortable Sad
