That rack is flawless. What a rack should be, functional and actually adds to the look.

Well deserved, Rob!

Everyone knew exactly which scoot they were talking about and Ned got hearty congratulations for all his outstanding craftsmanship!

Seriously, though, I wish you'd been here to accept the award yourself and bask in the praise.

Everyone knew it was your bike as soon as they said, "The absolutely perfect, gorgeous black..."

I would like to take the moment to apologize now, for the things I may have said into the microphone: on your behalf.

Perhaps we should try a different rally next year.

Wow! I don't no where to start.

This award belongs as much to all of you that have posted on this thread and kept me going in the right direction. I really appreciate all the comments and support. I never expected this scoot to turn out like this.

I'm so happy to have this scoot back on the road. I plan on putting some serious miles on her. Already have two trips south of the border planned and a special photo shoot coming up this fall. A tour of Oregon is also in the works. Stay tuned.

Such craftsmanship! After seeing your pics at ROM, and pics of your rear rack, it occurred to me you have the skills to make one of these in stainless

Might fit the look of the GS better than a plastic gas can. Either way, excuse my jealousy

Wait... is that award actually a rolling trey?

No wonder Socal has a kung fu grip on it!
