Default Re: Deep Purple

Actually the tires are not that skinny. I dont do skinny tires well. I think they are 28 by 1 3/8 wal mart calls them 26's on their web site. But the way the frame is laided out it looks big but doesnt really feel big. I think that everything will lay out nice. Plenty of room on the handlebars to put what I need. Im hoping to make this my long haul bike. Because when my job is done at the chem demil site Im planning on taking a trip.
But the motor is a grubee 48 that is one that has the better carb and what not. I bought two off a guy that was getting out of the biz and I got this one and the one thats on my moon dog for 250 bucks just couldnt pass it up.
I'll try to get a shot of me on it to show you the size. Its really not that bad.
Later Terry
