Had the cool idea but my pockets couldnt come through.

The hush, hush secret me and Jack Frost had was using the colors of the 78CC sled and make them into the 80 scheme..it can be done..but it wont be.

Next idea was ThunderFire with purple, blue and highlighted with yellow accents..again...shallow pockets.

Correct decals are on there way. Any donors for bumper tape out there?

I ordered some reflector tape from a local auto graphics place. He had a catolog with several sizes and colors available. Got 20 feet for $9.

I used it up except for about 3 feet.

I also bought some black reflector tape for a Yamaha and the catolog had the yellow for 00's.

Jocko goes nowhere...he is an original. I broke his arm back in the early 70's when I sat on it. Grandma gave it to me. :angel:
