Maroon GTV 3.0l, A4 outside BBC West

You wouldn't think it would be hard to spot an 18st bloke in dayglo orange on a very large black 1200cc Kawasaki with headlights on, would you Pete?

I saw you & trundled away from the lights as I assumed you'd be squirting past.
Wasn't sure it was you, though, as your leathers looked a bit too clean!

[Mon Ami Mate]

You looked a bit surprised and I was concerned for a moment that you might have mistaken my for a less friendly gesture. And then the comic potential of that overtook rational thought, so I thought I might as well make a rude gesture anyway!

[pdV6]

At least my car was a bit cleaner than last time you spotted me in the wild...

Oh and for "Maroon", read "Rosso Proteo" - sounds so much nicer in Italian!
