Thanks guys!!! The GL was a fun project (well....mostly) and a very fun day at Quail Lodge!!
I rode it about 50 miles yesterday just for fun on all types of roads.
Y'know, it handles really well... I'm pleasantly surprised!

I think that is the most successful cafe execution I have seen on a wing. Everything just works so perfectly, the lines of the seat, the two colour choices, just wonderful. Thanks for sharing and inspiring!

She looks fantastic!!

If I were to make any suggestion it would be that the side covers should read
