Who said I'm dropping any money on it?

My safety gear has been tested and works quite well, I've lost 26 kilos over the last 12 months (would be more but for the MotoGP trip :roll: ), and I've done the Superbike School Level 1...what more do you want? :lol: :lol: :lol:

The current can is used

They both look pretty much the same. I like the full exhaust or none at all.
Why can't the big manufacturers get rid of the things. The stubby exhausts look like they just can't design it right. Buell seem to be able to tuck it away nicely and 'Durbahn' gets the thing completely gone from the undertail look. I love kwakas but the new ZX10s must have the ugliest undertail exhaust ever. Halfway between high level exhaust (Honda SP-2) and real undertail design (Ducati 916).
For me it's either in or out.

Here's a pic of mine so you can bitch at me......if you want.....Go kwaka GREEN.

I agree with that one.... I actually like the side exhausts..... Not a fan of some of the underseat exhausts... Honda seem to have done them well, same with ducati.... but kwaka didnt seem to get it right on theirs.... Just MHO ofcourse

Just to bring the topic back to me, and because I like looking at pictures of myself...see if you can spot why I'm asking the question.

There's something about trips away and nasty rashes that are expensive to get rid of :roll:

Hey, now I know why you got the Titanium 10. It's road rash coloured.

Pisser about the drop though mate. Looks like it's mod time.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.
