  • Gabe's (Down$hift) Classic Beauty!

    Just ran down to Ann Arbor with my gf to swap some parts with Gabe. Whole line of Scooters in the Thompson St. Parking garage making me giggle, if any of you are familiar with UofM. And, out of the street lights comes Gabe's bike: an absolute classic beauty! The silver and white combo on the tank and side covers is amazing. It reminds me of a Norton Commando without the black. The sound of those straight pipes is like a Meatloaf concert of crashing drums and rocking guitar solos! I never thought something I thought I disliked so much would sound so good. And, as a treat he opened her up upon leaving the garage. Very nice job on that bike. Hat off to you on that build.
