lol...love it.
I think it is SHFD, an abbr. for Shefield England.
The dude developed his love for singles as a military brat living there years ago.
Oh! I remember this guy
His name is Bill. Yeah, he doesn't have a computer.
He has one of the VERY first Ryca kits produced... his tank should be stamped with a special mark. Bill would call us all the time for updates about his kit (this was during the first run, and things were crazy and behind schedule). He could talk all day about bikes....said he fell in love with thumpers in England when a guy on a BSA would pass him every day on his way to school. Great story. He requested his CS-1 seat un-upholstered so he could cover it in alligator skin!
I always wondered what happened with Bill and his CS-1 project. If you see him, tell him hi and we would love to share some photos of his bike, along with his story.
