Another great project. I think a grey would be a good colour to go for. Lots of white Yetis around at the mo.

Andrew at Yetifan sent me these...

So it's black, white, red, blue or yellow - or two tone with darts, fades, animal skin, camouflage or "New Wave"

Anyone know what new wave is? I like the sound of that :D

This was the desert of New Mexico in March. Love being able to ride down there in the winter.
