If you like lots of chrome, the bazooka is a must have I reckon  :stir: :whistling:

Saves me the time polishing everything else, I'd rather spend that time riding  :)

Riding and having a clean bike aren't mutually exclusive. I'm not a dirt snob but I'm not a shine snob either. I don't see the point in being either. I can spend time quickly shining my bike in my spare time and also ride in my spare time. Plenty of time to do both and these beautiful bikes deserve to be both ridden and clean. My bike is an investment in my enjoyment. I didn't even consider it to be a financial investment (although I bought it pretty cheap and am glad I'll probably never lose money on it) but there's no harm in maintaining a nice thing. Plus I'm sure your bike isn't filthy and even if it is that's the way you enjoy it and that's awesome. As long as we have 14s our worlds are a better place.

The test ride on the blue and white, the big noticeable difference is the black one is faster even with the bazooka.

Amazing how recollections of the same event can differ!

The test rider was so impressed he thought it was better than his black one, despite being blue and white and sporting a muffler half the weight of the bazooka.

Anyhow I have a future Classic - a proper naked bike with twin shocks, chrome and more muscle than Popeye on steroids.

Noted, I'll pull my head in a smidge. Copped a fair bit of flack on FB simply for polishing metal. I'll turn my sensitivity dial back down to 1.
