    Saddle Bags for my Strom

    Great bike show on TV

    Did anybody see the TV show "What's in the Barn" on Discovery last night. First time I have seen it. Really interesting show about a guy who looks for forgotten old bikes stored for years in people's barns. Last night he came across the Roaddog bike. Biggest bike ever built at about 17 feet long!
