Now i think that we are all missing the point here...... i think we need to all show our support and get that fluro pink back on the Macio combined with the happy pants.  Priceless
You have to remember that 'ol GE was a fashionista of the worst kind. It was a fashion statement even I couldn't come to grips with. I've still got the boardies although only one leg fits in them these days. The Maico's now dressed in its original orange fibreglass and living in retirement as a pool room queen somewhere in the Blue Mountains.

Yep, they sure are but they're a little bit smallish these days. They're good quality too, if JT can come back, why not our own Rat Clothing?

MArc - I like boot savers.......................................and have finally and just recently got a pair as part of the wardrobe!


I loved boot savers!!!  I'm trying to find the material to make some more, I have had the JT logo copied at the local embroiderer and will make a JT pair  :-)

I normally wouldn't do it, but was given a black front so I painted the rear to match. I do not mind them on the bike.

I reckon the black rims look awesome when combined with the red frame,tank,etc. Looks a bit too much on that IT,due to the engine,pipe,and frame being the same colour.Other than that its your bike,do what you want.

Blech rims not. i yhink they make the wheels look heavey or something, i'm all for clear anodised or good old shiney mud catchers some Gold look good on the right bike. to much colour makes even the best look cheap.
but as my wife says Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder thats why i like her so much.
