Post My two fastest toys !!

Had to wash both toys this morning first day for a while over here above freezing. So here is my pretty fast '95 Carrera and my very fast '02 Kawasaki ZX9R. But I know which one I prefer when it's this cold - the one with the heated leather seats. <img border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" title="" src="graemlins/bigok.gif" />

Nice pic, every time I see pics of the UK it makes me want to move back sooooooooo bad. My wife and I travel to Scotland twice a year to enjoy the unbelieveable scenery. We always head out to Mull via Oban one of our favs. Just got back from a family reunion near Perth. We have a home there thats been in the Robertson family since the 1700's.

Do you need a car/bike detailer full time??

Hi Stuttgart. The European name for the colour is Aventura Green in the US I believe it is Aventurine Green. Paint code is L39S it is a very Grey Green and many people think it is Grey looking at it. It is a complete pig to keep clean but when it is clean it looks great IMHO.

Maybe it's just over here, maybe even obscure.

"So Veddy English", usually said through the teeth, is a way to do an impersonation. It's not a knock, just an Anglophile-ism.

Hi Mike - no knock taken. Didn't get the expression at first but seeing it written down brings it to life. I guess I live in a pretty English place my house is only about 150 years old so it's pretty new round here. Through the trees (top left corner) in the picture you can just about make out a half timbered house which is the oldest in my village and around 450 years old.

ELLSSUU you may have given me an idea here maybe with some copper wire and a bit of an old leather coat I could get out on the ZX9 this winter!

Cheers guys.

Tim,

Thanks for making me want to spend more $$$. I see these Euro bumbers and clear side markers and I realizes how much I dislike the bumperettes and yellow/orange signals.....(by the way great pic)
