Can you spell irony?

I see these in the Denver area, not sure what part of Colorado you're in. (Apologies for this being so small, but you should be able to click on it to get it in a readable size)

I just noticed you have a SL 350! I had one of those back in the day (mid-70's) as my only means of transportation but also used to swap out the primary sprocket and take it up in the hills. Great memories....
