Looking better each time I see it. Don't forget to check those sprocket bolts. The mechanic was a bit tired

It's funny how tastes change.....back in their day I thought KTM/Pentons were the ugliest bikes imaginable, even uglier than a Hodaka ::). Today however I reckon they're gorgeous and this is one of the nicest I've seen. Congratulations on a great bike and yeah..see ya at CD9.
