    Chrome will get you home...

    Couldn't help posting this, must have taken a shit load of polishing to get that finish, wonder how they did the plastic bits?

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Man thats some chrome, give me matt black any day, at least it's easier to keep clean.
    "I came into this game for the action, the excitement... go anywhere, travel light,... get in, get out,... wherever there's trouble, a man alone... Now they got the whole country sectioned off; you can't make a move without a form."

    Paved roads are just another example of wasted tax payer dollars.
