Amazing... almost a dead ringer for the Empire Professional I got from you around 10 years ago.
I do remember that Empire Pro and take your time with the restoration. Seems like restorations take me longer and longer to complete these days. The Rabeneick is into year three now and still have to apply decals. Maybe today.

As for Empire Professionals, four powder blue ones and one cosmetically challenged white one have come my way, over the years. The blue ones always arrive with the dull powder blue paint. The paint always oxidizes badly, leaving that powdery like dull finish. None the less, really cool bikes even though I would not classify them as exotic.

I forgot to post this picture of that orange Tundra that was sitting, waiting for a new home, last week. Now, it and the other one beside it look like this...

Last week...
