Patch - welcome to the best (and only AFAIK) R12R specific forum on the Interwebz. We're generally a pretty friendly group here..

Perhaps you might provide some info like name, year of R12R, and your general location in a SIG file.. it's a good way to make contact here..

I was a bit hesitant on the color... really wanted black but that skunk-stripe didn't do it for me - plus i didn't want spoke wheels. I do like the matte finish though.

Thanks for the welcome all...

Welcome Patch! =D>

Did you go to MAX in Brookfield? They're having a BBQ Lunch this Saturday. I usually avoid the crowds, but might motor down there to represent our RR minority. :-k

Looking forward to some pics when you get her. Wishing you safe roads. [-o<
