Arland,
I had a friend do the Base colour and then sent it to an old friend Jo who does Airbrushing for a living. The base colour does not look very good in the posts, but it really is great when viewed at a higher quality.
I took the bike to Belgium two weeks ago, it ran well except it got very hot in slow traffic and was making a tinking sound when pulling away. It was fine after, when i got moving and it cooled down. Made me wonder how you guys manage in the temperatures you live in.
All the best
Andy
Sometimes it gets so hot it feels like your leg is going to melt! For the most part we have gotten used to the heat. I try my best to keep moving and stay out of slow or stopped traffic. Arland
