That looks like the old days with leaded fuel, after a highway run.....

Looks like my pre catalytic converter days on the old Dodge Van. It looks like your air/fuel mixture is perfect.

Well.... to be honest, it may also have something to do with the fact that the rest of the bike was looking like this after a shortcut through a gravel road on Friday.......  angel

Looks fine to me.

Surprisingly ( or perhaps not ) after a date with pressure washer, the bike looks better. Pipes back to normal too  Cool

OK OK I'll come up with something funnier next time round. Promise  Wink
