So I bought that diamond plated Interceptor that I posted about awhile ago,
picture attached.

Its a total overbuilt and over modified beast, with diamond plating and
rhino coating (what they put on pickup truck beds, looks like powder
coating) for no other reason than, as it was explained to me, so if someone
slams their door into it, their door will dent and the Interceptor will be
fine. It looks pretty cool but isn't quite my style. Those big chrome mag
wheels on the other hand...

Its a '99, was previously harassing parkers in San Francisco, and has only
17,000 miles on the odometer. Its pretty insane how much the previous owner
restored everything, the engine looks brand new, has all new hoses and
wires, and you could literally eat off the valve cover. There's all sorts of
modifications to the brackets in the engine, new aluminum struts everywhere,
I'll try to post some pictures if anyone's interested.

One thing he did that I love is beefed up the front forks and put wipers on
them, which are new to me but apparently standard on motorcycles, they keep
dust from going down the fork. And he added aux fans to cool the buried and
suffocating engine.

As I type I'm in a hotel in Redding, CA, where Maxime and I just bought it.
We took an Amtrak up here and will be driving it slowly back to San
Francisco (about 250 miles) over the next few days, vehicle and police
willing.
