Perhaps a limited production "Harley Orion" is approiate. A little chrome
here and there with some red lettering...ohhhh baby...
And for the cowboys, the "Orion King Ranch" with tan leather knob grips and
taller legs. Yehaw...

Personally, I kinda like the notion of black as a case color.
Takes me back to "the old days" when most rigs were finished in black
crinkle paint.
I can remember being upset when Collins introduced the S-Line gear in
the late 1950s. Compared to the A-Line gear (which I lusted after, but
couldn't begin to afford), I thought the S-Line stuff looked like stereo
gear, not "real radios."
More important that cosmetics, however, I really liked Scott's preview
of the Orion. Sounds like a winner...
