Bingo! These are the same Rizoma tapered handlebars I had on my 2013, but in a clear anodized aluminum finish. i.e... the ones at the bottom of this image. Kind of look white there too... :o

I've got some stuff planned for my 2014, so stay tuned...

That old pump has been made new again with 2 ClipperCreek hardwired Level 2 EVSEs inside. The charging pistols store where the gas pump handles used to be and the fuel pump registers the correct price - $0.00!

I'm hoping more riding destinations follow suite, as the Greensprings Inn is very happy with the additional traffic to their wonderful restaurant based on having them. Check out the photos on the Plugshare site for who all has stopped by... they claim they see Teslas there often. Very cool.
