Not sure about gulf livery with the seafoam-green frame, but I'd sure like to see what the rest of the exhaust looks like.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

I agree re: the frame - perhaps make it match the blue of the Gulf scheme or paint it black, but I didn't notice it at first!  Likewise, I'd prefer the gold of the forks be changed to black (via vinyl or anodizing) so it doesn't contrast so much. 

The pipe is a bit OCC for me..

Son delivered the Chimera to PA near New Hope. Guess he likes it as he's parked in the mud room next to the kitchen in the main house!  Cool

Came back with a 35,000 mile, belt-serviced, etc. 328 GTS in his trailer which we'll play with before he sells that. Wink


passed a Tasmin on Sunday.

I didn't notice that at first also. Raux is probably right about maintaining value. The Zards for the Paul Smart would like alot better than these slash cut ones

I like the paint. The rear brake disk is almost non existent.
Looks good.

I like it too.  Very minimalistic, and the upswept cans work.  Simple and to the point.

The rear rotor is like a toothpick!  wtf?  that's one way to keep it cool...

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I guess there are a few molecules for the puck to squeeze on. Who needs rear brakes anyway.

 waytogo I thought I'd seen every color combination. I've seen gloss olive drab with a black framed S2R. But I've never seen olive drab green with the gold frame. It looks tough.
