Entertaining read. Love that you made it unapologetically yours! Great creativity and vision. The exposed overflow is my favorite!

BOTM and we are waiting for the next step. Your bike is absolutely the coolest thing. I can only imagine the conversations that you must have at gas stops."My gramma had the same salt & pepper shakers etc. etc." Hope that you have enjoyed your bike as much as we have.

Jonesz - the conversations have been exactly as you say! This summer has been very good for "Bon Appetit" and as the month of October rolls on, some catching up on those items will be posted. Many thanks once again for your kind words!!!

Thanks to everyone for the kind words and Naked Goldwings NGWClub for selecting "Bon Appetit" as bike of the month for October.
It's been an excellent summer for this GL1100 so to round out the October botm, some updates will be posted.
