This site is quite useful: http://www.wineoakbarrels.com/rumbarrels.html I see that they do barrels as small as 1 litre, however I reckon a 3 litre barrel would look good on the sideboard. I would have thought a craft distillery might be able to oblige, however there may be concerns over what your p...

How many cc's? The cycle I mean, lol. And what model. I loved the really old ones, terrible fast. Heh, it's a '93 ZR750 Zephyr (4 stroke), I think you guys had them over there. I used to have the 1100 version and adored it, but let it go when I really shouldn't have done. I bought this 750 last yea...

The worlds best rum...

At this particular moment is Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, mainly because I have spent a fruitless day trying to tame a bank of 4 carburettors on an old Kawasaki motorcycle with absolutely no success whatsoever.
