          Looks pretty sharp. I think that'll look good on the bike.

                    Hi James,
                    if Lance was waiting from mid-October for his freebie paint job to be done he didn't need no steenkin' bike at all.
                    October through April in Saskatchewan is snowmobile time.

                      We have so much snow here right now. I really hope it's all gone by may long weekend. That's when i hope to bring it back out and put it all back together.

                        3 month wait for a free paintjob is very nice. Looks like the official Yamaha blue to me. I can see the metallic in the one photo really well.

                        Gonna be a great looking bike.

                            Dear Sir Lancelot,

                            I very much like your choice of color. You have excellent taste. It is definitely nicer than brave Sir Robin's lavender. Although, to me, your fabulous XJ Maxim would look ok to me, even if it was covered in bird poop. Function before form. That is my very favorite machine! Congratulations.

                            And, give my regards to the gents at the round table.

                            Max
