    Default smell of black powder in the air.

    got out on my motorbike for a ride yesterday, since it was one odd day that it didn't rain. as I was passing through narrowsburg N.Y. I saw a black cloud hanging over the road. [because of the noise of the bike and my helmet I didn't hear the shot.] but when I smelled it I knew what it was. turns out a block away was old fort Delaware. they had a few reenactors and they were firing a civil war era coehorn mortar. they had a few civil war rifles on display. great bunch of guys who were more than happy to talk of civil war gun. even had a woman stealing redskin.Attachment 44146

    Very cool. Clouds of BP are coolness.... so long as projectiles sent your way aren't proceeding them!!!
    I recently made a verbal deal for a Ruger Old Army revolver. I have no clue why but I have long thought them cool, and am really looking forward to it!

    What kind of bike? I have a Triumph Speedmaster, currently scattered about my garage <grin>.

    Nice. That Triumph was a turkey for me. I sold it and bought a Yamaha Roadstar Warrior, similar to your VTX.
