Godffrey, judging by most of the stuff on Bike Exif, being turned down is a compliment. ;)

I'd take Godffery's bike over many of the featured bikes.

I have noticed a trend of bikes that may be "Nice to hang on the wall, Not so nice to hang in the corners" featured on there.?!   =b
yep...so no worries as this one can easily handle both

I cannot abide BE's fascination with Firestone tire-adorned art-only pieces.

I like the gauges.  I need to redo my speedo, provided I run one, when I drop the 650 cam in... (I have nos 650 tach) Your scheme is different and classy with a vintage vibe...a cream face with the colored trim ring inside the dial's mph scale is cool. That it keys with the bike color is great too. Almost looks like you put a redline warning light buried in the black redline range on the tach.

Race tracks are not salted...probably pretty open as far as competition to use the facility...if you can stand the cold and talk track owners into some inexpensive time there.
