[QUOTE=desertspirit;7838537]Actually, I was thinking of his comment with regard to the paint on the vehicle. This is an '86 and this color is original paint, a dark brown metallic, actually very beautiful when I put some wax on it.
I have not seen too many vehicles this color. In fact, I have seen none.
That a reflection of an android can be seen in the paint speaks volumes to me, not only about the paint but the origin of the vehicle's engineering.
Obviously the engineers were advanced in their thinking, perhaps androids themselves.
That color is somewhat rare and looks great. It appears to be Nutmeg Brown. Had an 80 euro back in the day a friend brought back from Germany and think it had to have been a custom color. Could not find it anywhere.

Those jackstands look a whole lot safer. Don't treat helmets like they are a bad thing. I have numerous skin grafts on the top of my head to from a low speed crash back in the day along with 14 fractured ribs. Had a few bikes in the past, pics below. 77tony
