[QUOTE="nkt267, post: 46493, member: 245"] Well..My bike looks like a Comet,,runs like a Comet and the lack of gold lining on the tank makes not a blind bit of difference. I admire the 'showroom' bikes but I like them even better when they are used. If you want originality to the Nth degree then that's ok with me---But let it be a bike that gets used. I get people say to me 'I bet that sits in the garage all winter,that's how they should be looked after'..My reply is that I fitted all the stainless steel bit so that I wouldn't have to polish it non stop, and yes I was out in the snow earlier in the year. So I have to wash it down when I get home,that is what bikes were meant for. My first Comet live against a factory wall outside the flats I lived in at the time,IT WAS TRANSPORT not something to be awed and ahhed over..john [/QUOTE]
