I totally understand the "keepin' it in dirty camouflage" thing. I used to not wash my BBS wheels for 6 months at a time so people didn't try and steal them. It's gonna be harder to make that vpr green disappear under grime, but that will be my strategy too.
As for the bra, you've just given me an idea. To mess with 'the man' even further, I'm going to put just a black license plate FRAME on the front. Probably under the bra just so it looks like something is there.
I loved the part where you played 'tag' with the trailerless semi. The guy must have really known the road well. Reminded me of some 3-state bike trips I used to take. Somewhere in VT on Rte. 100 there was a red Karman Ghia that definitely knew the roads. It's not often that such a car can hold up three sportbikes, but on a narrow winding road, with virtually no "straights" he was keeping us at bay. It was too dangerous to squirt by due to the tight and very blind corners. Too big of a risk of oncoming traffic, yet on the corners he was really carrying his speed slightly past what we were comfortable with without knowing whether the turn would tighten or whether there would be big gap in the pavement. We both knew the game and it was a great rhythm to ride in. Thanks for reminding me of that too.
