Yup, sorry to hijack this thread, but the 'olden days' of MC racing were great. When I'm depressed I like to watch the 1999 Ulster GP and our favourite Irishman, Joey Dunlop, clobbering the young guys on an 'obsolete' RC45.
MotoGP has become a de facto spec series, You need to watch Moto3 or WSBK to see any real racing, or check out people like Lawson, Schwantz, Rainey, Doohan et al to get your fix.
Not rare, and regarded as 'weird' by most people. I had one of these in aluminum, got rid of it and now have what could be construed as a rare variant, a Columbus steel version with a stiletto fork.
LOL, people are certainly free to appear in public looking like clowns, in the interest of being 'inclusive', of course. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to guffaw heartily at you for doing so.
