    cafe racers do look cool BUT they don't go well with my alpinestars??
    Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.

    That will be awesome.

    If i can find some of the essientials for the S40, like a fork lowering kit and farings etc I guess i could build it my self.
