Nice, Gunny......but when are you gonna clean it ?? he he ar ar giggle, snort, choked (probably by Gunny or WDR)
Jokes aside, very nice, and the carbon wrap on the swingarm is a good touch - you may have a little heat distortion (wrinkling) on the wrap if you run much in traffic, due to heat transfer from the exhaust box.......
I have some nice "Grim Reapers" - Here's the West Belfast Blues anti terrorist badge, that I wear on my jacket.
Irish inscription - " Beware the Reaper"

It is the Continental. I know I have said this repeatedly, but I am just absolutely sold on the Continental attack series tire. I have ridden the 1000 with the Michelin road pilot and with the Continental and have ridden a R1 equipped with pilot power 2 and a Continental sport attack. And I personally prefer the Continental. There is only a point difference of maximum lean angle difference between the two tires. I'm not talking about a whole percentage point, but something in the neighborhood of 48.5 to 48.6. And those are not exact numbers. Just do the research for yourself and put your *** in the saddle and feel the difference. The Continental doesn't ride like anything else. I have used before, and you have got to get used to running really high air pressure 42 psi and Continental recommends absolutely nothing below 38 psi

How many miles do you get out of those Attack tires? Getting about 6K from the Pilot Road 2s and they are up for replacement....

6K on a Pilot Road!!! I get at least 12K out of my Pilot Roads and I don't think I'm riding like an old fart... Got 22K on a front tyre last year

22K! You old fart! ha ha, only joking Noe. To be honest I have not even done 6K on them, I am up to about 5300 miles (not km) and they are getting very low in the centre. I do ride hard (oo err) to keep up with my colleagues on our "commute" home.

Noe, are you talking KM or miles?
