What a great image of the Goat and better yet another cool color scheme. I seem to remember them on Oki in 81-83 as camo'd but since I had no licence never drove one. Imagine the treat instore when I drove one I had bought 30 years later..Once you get used to them they are really pretty unique...

Thanks all,
