Amazing! What a gorgeous bike Dan, so much attention to detail. I love all of those red accents with the carbon look. The 'Bottlehead' on the side looks really cool too. It looks better than one off the showroom floor, just awesome.

  Your wearing leathers w/back protector, boot's etc. The only way to go.

Yeah I kind of shudder when I think back to what I wore to ride in the 70's - a vinyl jacket, jeans, snowmobile gloves, a Bell helmet that was too old and too big and some Sidi race boots that were a little too small.

There's so much gear for sale out there that one can get some killer deals with the application of some patience and a willingness to clean up used gear. I think I have about $2K worth of gear that I paid about $500 for.

Got time to take a little bit more formal portrait yesterday.

Very cool. I have been dreaming about getting a small displacement bike like that as a future project.

Just posting a biker selfie (oh, brother....) so I can link it to another forum.

Carry on.
