Love the smell of 2stroke in the morning... Like the re5 back light holder, with the reflectors. The seat looks new.. Did it come like that? or is it a recover? :)

Shaggy - nice bike :up hope you enjoy riding her.
I do like a nice Kettle and I think the sound of a big 2 stroke takes some beating: but I guess I am a bit biased.
