Now She Looks as Good as She Sounds
Now that my buddy has helped improve on my horrible rattle-can work on the track bodywork, I put the decals on, and she's looking pretty good, don't you think?

It's not...You should ride in the trailer and let your bike ride upfront with 'whip.

Looking real good. How do you like the seat? Did you ever ride the stock one?

I love the seat. Rode the stocker a bit - it was a plank much like on my 954. Probably would have been fine for track-only, but since it'll see occasional street use too, I decided to spring for the Sargent after finding a decent deal.
