Yeah buddy! Nothing but sunshine here! I grew up here in Arizona, the sun doesn't bother me cause I always wore a hat.

Awesome bike & pics Mailman ! Nice work
How DO you get that polish on the chrome and the engine cases?
I was lucky that my bike has spent its life in a dry climate and had zero corrosion. The rest was plain old elbow grease.
COOL (errrr, I mean hot). Did you remove the luggage rack MM?
Nope. It's in several of those photos, some of the photos pre date the rack. I have a Nelson Riggs tail bag strapped on it.
Brilliant photography !
Your bike looks great.

Mostly military planes, I took a ride out there one Sunday morning and no one was around so I just snapped a few photos. The planes are
A Grumman Goose and the bomber is a B-25 Mitchell. It was an enormous open air hanger and there were many more planes, but as I said there was no one around and I didn't think they would appreciate my poking around. It sure was cool though.
