The image shows Matcha 抹茶 (green tea) flavored kitkats. I haven't found Wasabi flavored ones in my area yet. I'd also like to know what they taste like. :biggrin:

I recently bought this:

It's a '91 Harley-Davidson Low Rider Custom, model FXLR. For being 25 years old, it's in really nice condition. As Harleys go, this one is light and fast.

This bike brought my total to five, but to make room for this one, I sold one of my other bikes that I didn't ride very much.
