Sorry man, but I really liked the patina on that tank! I hope you're gonna go with the same decal at least? What cool-assed bikes they are, damn. You know, the press-steel framed bikes are becoming more and more THE thing. I can't wait to see this same technology reproduced in alloy, know what I mean? It would neccessitate thicker sheet and all, but if they did something similar to this kind of thing that didn't rust, with the whole computer generating and everything, then all that "new" delta-box shit will be on the trash heap for a change. I've always loved my tube-framed bikes, but my little Passport Cub-type scooter really gave me an appreciation for the pressed-steel stuff. And it's not even a complete frame, the "under-bone" is a big-assed tube. Somebody's gotta come up with an alloy frame kit for some of the new high-tech motors, you know? CRF450 in there, shrouded pressed steel leading link suspension, etc etc.... THEN you've just gotta build a new barrel and head for the thing with a classic air-cooled finned look to the whole package, and it will be THE SHIT!!! Ha ha. Ahh.... I guess I'd better buy a lottery ticket one of these days. "You can't win it if you ain't in it!"
-S.
