Waiting for a month after I ordered the emblem paint at the custom paint shop, the finsihed emblem arrived today. As you can see, I requested the shop to paint my emblem with the image of the one for 1971 Bonnevile T120. I am satisfied with the professional job as you can see the details.

This year’s rainy season in Japan was finally over, and the summer has arrived. During the day trip with my Bonneville, I often stop by at one of those convinience stores. In Japan, the convenience stores are very popular, such as 7-Eleven, Lawson, and Circle-K. My favorite is Mini Stop which...
