here you can see i've added a piece of luggage...  but this was before the glaring red panniers.  i'll try to get another picture sometime..  the panniers are as big as jesus.  the second picture was the result of my mother requesting that i open my eyes while staring into the sun.  it's the freaking desert!  the sun is goddamn bright!
 

i travel with slightly more weight that appears in the picture..
the rack over the rear wheel is chock full of stuff usually..
you can see the camelbak tube over my shoulder there.

the sign is made of light sheet metal, (aluminum i think)
the letters are all plotter-cut vinyl..
the 'ksc' is black, the rest is a purple that changes sheen depending on what direction you see it from.
the apple is this strange flecked looking mylar. (sp?)
the flag which is turned away is exactly like the golden apple and 'ksc' on the sign.
