Those aren't yellow - that's the gold anodizing on the inverted Ohlins forks!  :wink:

Yes, I put a transfer case -- reversing gearbox -- inline with the drive shaft.  So it's got engine-powered reverse and possibly a speed record for driving a guzzi backwards.   :thumb:  I did a reverse lap around the John Day doings just to show folks it works.

He told me it goes the same speed backwards as forwards.

I'll bet you can take him by holding the front brake on, revving it to 5000 rpm, and exclaiming "Look over there!" .... :grin:

It will go faster backwards than you want to.  (add your favorite smiley from the missing icon collection here)

Twowings -- that's how Convert drivers win all their races -- when the light turns green, point at something with the clutch hand and twist with the other while the squid next door is following your finger.
