"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 airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Tap, tap, tap....knock, bang, thump. My tuner must be off... ;D

When can I put down a deposit on one of these things? Better yet, when can I swing by and pick it up?

 Sorry to hear that mate, wish I could pop over with a six pack and help you out.

  This alloy tank solution  from a member is excellent. While I don't need one at present, this contributes to keeping the future secure with keeping the older bikes on the road and providing a long term solution for the plastic tanks.

Any update on this?

Nothing final, got the model in and sent it back with corrections.  Coming along nicely.  Weight was much lighter than I expected.
