TC:
Looking forward to some photos of the swapped out bike. By the by, rocking horse sh!t is pretty rare here in the USA too.

We trudge on.

Rat (possibly not his real name) the Owner of the graphite RIII called in today .. keen to go ahead with our paint-job swap. My jet black (common as Harleys ) for his (rare as rocking horse sh!t) graphite. I'm a happy man.

Am pleased for you TC
slippery slope,
only a matter of time before you end up with bright yellow metal flake

Hope you don't lose power going from black to graphite...

Not a chance, he has a black motor.

This picture looks like it was taken with black and white film then photo shop in the red and amber lenses.

Can't believe I'm beating you to a 'colour change' .. that matt black paint must be growing on you know it's hard to justify the expense of a paintjob when there's nothing wrong with the one you got .. maybe hunt around for someone that wants to swap tins. Another bloke I know was going to paint his claret bike black and he was willing to swap with me but I never took him up on it .. what colour would you go for Dan ?

Happy with white - would have changed it sooner it was originally red tho

Reckon Rockets (and Speed Triples ) look good painted white.

It could be but it's impossible to tell from that pic. TORs look the same as stock pipes but have a larger inside diameter. They also have a stamp on the underside saying they are NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE.
