Last ride at my old house with Roger.

Took a little break from packing and dump runs...

I love this guy.

The YZ rocks too, BTW.











I love the clean new plastics.

The 'FMF' swingarm sticker is going. Will be replaced by a NOS 'YZF450' decal. I can't get one that says '400'.

Should make bike faster. :wink:

I wondered about that, since you indicated that you don't want to advertise for free. Where's the paddle?

I'm not convinced until you lay down the paint.

This and the last ride were hard surface stuff. I reserve the paddle for the Juniper Dunes Wilderness area and the beach.

It's not really an advertising issue per se, I just like clean and simple.

$6 for a fender. $10 for paint.

You already spent several times that on test paint for orange.

I bet Krylon Fusion, Patriotic Blue would be a very close color match. One coat of paint, and I would be done. Must resist... :?
