If you didn't notice the new logo on the cover
then I'll fill you in right now. BR has gone through a few changes since our last issue. The saying that "change is good" doesn't always seem to be right but in our case it is. So now that you've flipped back to this page after checking out the new logo on the cover you may also notice a few changes in the masthead. Adam is no longer on there and Jesse moved up to an editorial position. The reason being is that Adam had an opportunity to pursue something new that once it's rolling will be very good for all of us (more to be announced at a later date). There is only so much time in the day and right now Adam needs to be on top of his new project. We wish him the best and look forward to working with him again in the near future. Now in terms of the magazine you're about find out that it's been fine tuned and the layouts have been abbreviated. Gone are days of lengthy layouts. If you want more just follow the "click for more photos" button found in each layout. Your going to thank us because you now have enough time to read the mag and get outside to do all of that yard work.

The paint depicts several primary aspects of being an SF Soldier but the one that stands out the most is the US flag on the right side. This paint work is representative of the flag that our model, Virginia is flying on the cover. She is holding the exact flag that flew over the fire base where the bike owner and his teammates were stationed near Shindand Afghanistan. The team had been assigned to this base twice, in which they endured some very serious situations in both tours. This flag which flew above that fire base was all that this soldier had to hold onto in rememberance of his friends, up until now. He said that if only one point is expressed by this bike feature he asked that it be that we never forget his three fallen brothers (see tail section pic for names) who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. We won't.
exit pipes and the wheels were TOCE'd inside just like this one. The colors were all very similar. Mark said that for whatever reason when he stood back and looked at that bike he just knew that all the contrasting colors and TOCE egardless of parts were a perfect the opinion that match. Luckily pro builders never Mark didn't have get attached to just to wait very long one bike, the fact is before having that it does happen. Such is the opportunity the case with Mark Duval to recreate his of TOCE Performance. vision of the Mark did a very similar perfect bike. ZX-10 to this one for Mark says that a customer a few years he's not letting go back. It had a one-off of this one for a exhaust with square awhile though.
