Nice pics! :)

The reflection of pink in the fairing definitely gave it away.  Godzilla gets all the good rides!

they sound great tho.

well that didn't happen as planned. work got in the way, so unfortunately it's time for GZ to head for Terry in Australia.
he has got to ride some mean quakes tho, just had a reasonable one thunder thru. (my guess 4.8 about 7ks deep)

Hey Terry - if you get him in time, bring the lizard down to the Classic 28th/29th Jan - we might be able to get him on a hot lap of the island???? 8)

There's one at  Barber but as soon as you were lucky enough to sit on it you would be lucky enough to get bounced out of the museum.

If he were alive today we'd be on the way to Mars on a moto.
