No polisher I'm afraid. Just Belgum Alu, Brasso and very black fingers!

I recommend PFM Iron discs to everyone. Ridiculously good stopping power wet or dry but the do rust! Oh, Bendix pads of course help.

Her name?

Florafumi made up from two words: "Flora" and "Fumi".
"Flora" is the goddess of prostitution (costs money to ride it!!) and "Fumi" after Valantino Rossi dubbed himself "Rossifumi" as a mark of respect to the MotoGP rider that was killed.

Ahem, cough. :D Sorry but Rossi named himself Rossifumi after Norick Abe. Norick's really called Norifumi Abe and Vale was blown away by his riding style when he was a teenager. I know its my fault. :unibrow:
