As usual, spectacular shots! Many of my favourites of yours are the evening tripod images.

LOL I was out in that too, man I got WET! Need updated gear - my Aerostich Roadcrafter is not waterfproof.

I've settled into using a BMW Rallye Pro jacket, Puma GoreTex boots, and rubber pants from 3Vets. Keeps me dry for hours in the heavy stuff.

Wonderful shot -as were many others on your blog (
http://www.dailyrider.blogspot.com/ ).. borrowed a few for my wallpaper program on my work PC (Webshots - automatically changes wallpapers/screensavers to photos you select using a time interval you select.. highly recommended..) It helps keep me sane during the day.

Looking at the pictures, it looks like color options are:
Black
Black w/ pinstripes
Dark Grey
Light Silver
White
Am I missing anything (besides the "official" names)?

Sweet new bar - what is it? LOVE the copper color of it ... are the mirrors usable on the ends like that?

Rizoma bars and the end mirrors are more stable than standard.
