My old Monster turned up back at my shop needing carb work.  Float needles or something gone -- no start & cylinders filling up with gas  :P

Was it a standard "S" tail section or did it have a desmocedici tail?  White nose perchance?

Didn't really get a close look at the tail other than the color, couldn't have told the diff anyways...red nose, so I don't think it was your ex...

Somewhat rare sighting. Today at lunch time while walking the dog at work I saw a stock red Streetfighter come down Kawaiahao St. and stop at Cooke St. Then crossed over Cooke and kept going. Rider was just wearing street clothes and no protective gear of any kind. Didn't act up. Just came, stopped and went like nothing special. Totally non-distinctive.

it is so much easier to get forgiveness then it will ever be to get permission.

Last weekend at Ala Moana by the bridge to the hotel, there was parked another (?) Boxer Cup Replica.  Does boss-man still have his?  This one had military stickers on it, so I assumed it was a second one, and what an odd coincidence that would be.

Boss man's is still parked in the waiting room next to my office. Hasn't been ridden since maybe August or beginning of Sept.  ? ?  I'm the only one to have ridden it too.  Will need a safety inspection this month so maybe I'll take it out again.

The only other Boxer Cup I've seen over here belonged to a Navy guy. It was a newer model and had the Motorad Blue, White & Red paint scheme.  Low miles but lots of corrosion all over cause he had it parked outside for weeks, months at a time while he was gone. I saw it at South Seas Service once and Shawn was telling me about it. Don't know if it was the same one you saw but it could be.......

I saw one of those Evo 848's (Arctic White w/ red rims) parked outside the Long's-Safeway at Pali the other morning. Had the fairing side panels off for some reason. I'm not fond of them either.
