I like it best out of all the bikes I could see! Seriously. Chrome is not my thing.

That is a beautiful looking bike. I like your style!

Well you win admiration from all of us! :cheer:

+1! Love all the work you've done on your ride. I bet you'd come closer to winning in a cafe racer show. :thumbup:

That is a very interesting FZ6, but people are naturally afraid of what they do not understand. It is too bad that you could not be judged on performance as well. :thumbup:

Not even close is right! Those extended springers will never do the turns like yours! :rockon:

Long time no see John!
