Nice ride Clive. That is actually my favorite color for the J.

Beautiful bike, Clive. :) I haven't seen pipes that nice since May 17, 1972, when I bought my original J model. Mine was the gold color, and I have one just like it to this day. I hope you ride and exercise that beautiful bike of yours. Cheers.
