Make the way you want it, so what if it looks like someone else's bike. Anyway, that's my two cents.

Isn't your local friend the copy cat?

I know that. It was embarrassing even writing that that idea is in my mind. I may do it eventually, but right now, I'm trying to work out some bugs. I just picked up the boot today.

Woot! Love the black/gold.
Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.

I am embarrassed to admit that I have had, for decades, an almost uncontrollable urge to own a Lotus, while at the same time having absolutely no desire to ever have to deal with owning a Lotus.

Yes, I can see the hypocrisy: thus the embarrassment. :oops:

I went through the same thing.
I bought a '67 Lotus Elan. I lasted 6 months. :oops:
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

It's not hypocrisy if you admit it. I would go with inconsistent, though it's not nearly as romantic.
