Went on a 3 hour ride today. (Actually my 3rd ride since finishing on Tuesday) . I'll post more pics tomorrow, but wanted to post this one from a local bbq joint. The cooker area where the magic happens made me think of @Jake Sensi 's grilling sessions.
What's going to be on the Build Off Grill for next year @Jake Sensi ????? It will be our Lucky 13th together.

I agree. I was thinking that I would've chosen the left side for the vote photo.

It was a toss up between these two. The build looks awesome in either one, but I decided to use the shot that shows the work done on the guard as well as a decent peek at the pipes through the wheels, rather than the pipes side which hide the guard. The paint rub technique came out better on the drive side as well. It's just not as noticable on the pipe side.

The Spanish Moss is all over the oaks and crepe myrtles around Savannah. I never get tired of the cool look it has. I hate seeing tourists walking around with it in their arms though. I always warn them the put it down unless they love being eaten up with chiggers (red bugs). :D

Me too brother!!!! I still haven't spoiled the surprise of your build yet to him. He knows you have it, but knows you want to surprise him in person with it. He is gonna flip when he sees how "nasty" Lowco Liner is!!!

Tell me about it!!! It is a burden I have been having to carry for 12 build offs now!!!! :p ;);)

It's not for lack of trying to find them though. I am always on the hunt. I even tried some more on my ride today as Chris and I ventured out to Daffin Park (where the Savannah Bananas play).

Is every street corner in Savannah a perfect, picturesque spot to take with your bike?
Jiminy Christmas, got to visit there some day!
Great build, It's been fun to watch the process.

Not quite, but Savannah is a beautiful city that I am very proud off. There isa reason our city of less than 300K people gets over 15 Million tourists a year.
Maybe this should be a postcard :D (thanks @OddJob )

Love The Postcard!!!
15 million, that's a lot of tourists. I will have to be one of them someday!
