That shot of the long 'road' with the little up and downs on it just looks like a hoot. I kind of long to go WOT on my YZ there. :(

Thanks for sharing of course.
Thank you for your kind words, and your input, Turbo.

After my experience with my Zong, I have learned to enjoy personalizing my motorcycles. Therefore, I don't mind deviating from the Honda Red color theme, but Honda doesn’t make the job easy. The white plastic panels complicate adding a black fuel tank, since I don't want to produce a "zebra.” I also don’t want a completely black motorcycle. A white fuel tank might appear nice at first, but the white fuel tanks tend to discolor with age. :(

Besides a larger fuel tank, I also need to add a luggage rack, and a skid plate to this motorcycle. As I ponder my options, here are a few more photographs of the bike in its current configuration, before I start modifying it.
