    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    Gorgeous is all I can say
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    should have it all back in 3 weeks.

    I have attached a pic of my painters Rizzla GSXR, should give u an idea of what he's doing for the R1

    That seems pretty similiar to your XJ550, you're quite talented at this customising lark, arent you?

    I love the look of that classic cafe racer with the three pipes. It reminds me of my old NS400R with three pipes at the rear. Nice....
