And there's the problem, if you don't look at your bike and think "that's cool" you've got the wrong bike.

Absolutely this. For me,it's as big a part as riding the bike.

It can be cool, but with an ugly screen. :lol: I think I get it, but my bikes are a commuter first and anything else is second. If I didn't need a bike for commuting, I wouldn't even have one.

Often I just sit in the garage and gaze at the GSXR and the GasGas.

No urge to change them.

Aye, that's true. If they were stolen I'd buy the same again without getting attached to the original :)
