HAppy Birthday Ivan!!

[trbig]

You know, growing up in Washington State, there was a store we used to go to called B&I. They had a silverback Gorilla there, among many animals, that eventually got moved to the Atlanta Zoo. He was a big handsome fella named Ivan. Can't help but notice the resemblance.. and think of him when I see your name.

Anyway.. Happy Birthday!

I thought IVAN was more of a Venture rider

[Ivan]

Eh, sometimes the family resemblance shows through, especially when I don't shave my back. If there is ever any question between us, you'll know because I always scratch my butt after I pick my nose, Other brother has a tendency to reverse that order. The zoo doesn't let him use thermometers anymore for the same reason.

As far as being a Venture rider, I was here first, and the venture is still in pieces, waiting on some gauges before I can proceed with that. I will keep the XS until I die, I am pretty sure of that. It is my first bike and I still haven't found a bike that has better looks in my book than an XS.

Yeah, but I have been reading lately about a guy on here that put CHERRY BOMBS on his bike?! I bet that boosts the resale value! I wonder if that's to make sure he never does sell it?

OOPS.. not supposed to pick on people on their "Special" day am I. lol.

Happy Birthday.

Hey, if push comes to shove, I have another 70's megaphone "muffler" I can hang back on the bike. The header is almost squished flat on the bottom, but looks are everything, right?

For an opening bid of $400 theres a set of Jardine 4-1 on ebay too, anyone want to kick in for a shinny new birthday present for everyones favorite Silverback?

Happy birthday Ivan. So you haven’t put on the cherry bomb yet. I couldn’t find the number you mentions on their web site. Do they come in chrome or only painted? I was thinking of putting one on my Dyna. Why worry about resale value on something you’re not going to sell?

Pennies are ok if you cover the shipping.

Bob, I think the cherry bomb glass packs are only in red. The paint is cheap and flakes off, kinda like Tod and his pennies. Once I weld a bracket to mine, I am going to bead blast it and hit it with some header paint. I am thinking a dark blue color with goldish accents to match my headers.
