Have seen many of these up close and personal as I travel to Cali several times a year. Nice looking ride but like the CHP's Chargers better. NHP has good looking bikes as well but hard to beat the CHiPies color scheme. |

Looks very good and most realistic in clean state. Now Doug for the sake of us poor Brits could you explain your acronyms please.
