Love the swingarm, love the tail - I hoped they would carry that twin tipped tail through on the final design, that is the wildest looking arse end I have seen!

I like how it's chest settles into the front forks - looks butch and the pointy curved front tip of the front fairing gives the whole front end a good look imhho. I don't have a problem with the headlights, why does everything have to be symmetrical? They are fine and distinctive - as are the gills on one side.

Don't care for the colour green - what happened to the orangey/gold colour? It's still the blue red and white version that knocks my dick into the dirt.

Next time you plan on riding up here, let me know. I enjoy having breakfast or lunch at the Bear Wallow in Alpine.........And if you like spirited riding, all the better.

Will do Dean, we had lunch at the Paisley House in Alpine. I had an Italian sausage sandwich that was excellent. I hope to make another run up 191 (back down 180) before TOR, hopefully we can have lunch. My spirited riding is probably a leisurely ride for you.

Yeah, you "Old Farts" are the toughest ones to keep up with.
