Hi Clive,

When I'm in Tokyo I am certain I'll find a 45CF somewhere in Shinjuku.
Maybe they'll let me fondle it or even take pictures of it in compromising
positions... If so, I'll post my findings to the list :)

As to the dents in my wallet, the bike is most certainly the most expensive
of my expensive habits. Gas, tires, service and a recent lowsider all
really add up :-(

Cheers,

Alex
