Hey, thanks for the vote of confidence with my choice of Blue. As always it's always personal taste with this one.
Anyway, the carrot of my taking the Black or Graphite WAS put in front of me cos whoever orders the bikes into Aus emailed my dealer back and said:
Quote:
It is going to be at least August before next blue is available, I can do a black June
Or Graphite in July
Well this did put me on the spot cos if I picked the Graphite, I could have virtually picked the bike up after I stepped off the plane from the U.S. A sort of post travel blues fixeruppera. Not this little blue (sorry) duck. He's gunna wait whatever time it takes to get me the colour I'm after.
It did test me though cos I got as many Graphite (Black wasn't a contender) pics from the Web as possible to see if I liked it more than the blue and whilst in all honesty it does look exceptional, the blue looks better.
Tomorrow I might scan an article from Australian Motor Cycle News which is quite a balanced appraisal of what the Explorer is like. It's also got some good pics in it too 
Btw, when Paul Hogan did that add, he was told to say shrimp cos that's what the Americans call them but we actually call them Prawns. A little bit of useless info for ya.
