It looks like the face painted on the wall admires your ride as well.

I had a DL-1 that was pretty complete and original, and liked the way it rode. It was too good for me so I passed it along. I always thought that a DL-1 with better brakes would be nice ride.

This is actually an old Pashley Sovereign Roadster that was converted to path racer by the previous owner. The drum brakes are a tremendous improvement over the original rod-brakes.

I added my own touches to the cockpit, and it is one of my favorite rides now.
