Interesting pics, Paul. Lovely bike!
Scary shot at 5:15 though, of the guy applying some lovely carcinogenic powder coating without a respirator!
Life can be so cheap over there!

indeed, taper! I'll never forget one of the abiding memories of my first visit to Goa. (Just before I bought my Bullet 500). A guy was on his haunches white-washing kerbstones on a dual-carriageway... on the tarmac with his back to the traffic!
I suppose it's a bonus if they even live long enough to die of natural causes!!
